Lyrics

[Intro]
Yo
Tell 'em
Hoo, it's like, uh, you know, uh
Sweet, sweet, sweet
Tell Him, uh
[Verse 1]
Let me be patient, let me be kind
Make me unselfish
Without bein' blind
Though I may suffer, I'll envy it not
And endure what comes
'Cause he's all that I got, I tell him
[Chorus]
Tell him I need him
Tell him I love him
And it'll be alright
And tell him
Tell him I need him
Tell him I love him
It'll be alright
[Verse 2]
Now I may have faith
To make mountains fall
But if I lack love
Then I am nothin' at all
I can give away
Everything I possess
But am without love
Then I have no happiness
I know I'm imperfect
And not without sin
But now that I'm older
All childish things end and tell him
[Chorus]
Tell him I need him
Tell him I love him
It'll be alright
Tell him I need him
Tell him I love him
It'll be alright
[Bridge]
I'll never be jealous
And I won't be too proud
'Cause love is not boastful
Ooh, and love is not loud
Tell him I need him
Tell him I love him
Everything is gonna
Is gonna be alright
Ooh, ooh
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah
[Verse 3]
Now I may have wisdom
And the knowledge on earth
But if I speak wrong
Ooh, then what is it worth?
See, what we now know
Is nothing compared
To the love that was shown
When our lives were spared and tell him
[Chorus]
Tell him I need him
Tell him I love him
And it'll be alright
Oh, tell him
Tell him I need him
Tell him I love him
It'll be alright
Oh, tell him
That I need him
Oh, it'll
It'll be alright
Yeah
