Yo heh heh tell him it's like uhh you know uhh
Sweet sweet tell him


Let me be patient let me be kind
Make me unselfish without being blind
Though I may suffer I'll envy it not

And endure what comes
Cause he's all that I got and
tell him...


Tell him I need him (yeah)
Tell him I love him (tell him)

And it'll be alright
[Background singing] Telll himmm be alright be alright
Tell him tell him I need him

Tell him I love him
It'll be alright


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 left without love then I have no happiness
I know I'm imperfect (I know I'm imperfect)
& not without sin (& not without sin)

But now that I'm older all childish things end
and tell him...


Tell him I need him (yeah)
Tell him I love him (tell him)
And it'll be alright

[Background singing] Telll himmm be alright be alright
Tell him 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 kind
Cause love is not boastful

Oooh and loveis not loud
Tell him I need him
Tell him I love him

Everything's gonna be alright [w/ adlibs]
Oooh oooh yeah yeah aww yeah


Now I may have wisdom and knowledge on Earth
But if I speak wrong 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...


Tell him I need him (yeah)
Tell him I love him (tell him)
And it'll be alright

[Background singing] Telll himmm be alright be alright
Tell him tell him I need him
Tell him I love him

It'll be alright
