HOW CAN I TELL HIM
(Kent LaVoie)


Tanya Tucker - 1973





He knows when I'm lonesome, he's there when I'm sad
He's up in the good times, he's down in the bad
Whenever I'm discouraged he knows just what to do
But, boy, he doesn't know about you

I can tell him my troubles, he makes 'em all seem right
I can make up excuses not to hold him at night
We can talk of tomorrow, I'll tell him things that I wanna do
But, boy, how can I tell him about you

How can I tell him about you
Boy, please tell me what to do
Everything seems right whenever I'm with you
So, boy, won't you tell me how to tell him about you, ah-ah-ooh-ooh

How can I tell him I don't miss him whenever I'm away
How can I say it's you I think of every single night and day
But when is it easy tellin' someone we're through
Oh, boy, help me tell him about you

How can I tell him about you
Boy, please tell me what to do
Everything seems right whenever I'm with you
So, boy, won't you tell me how to tell him about you, ah-ah-ooh-ooh
Ah-ah-oh-oh-ooh-ooh
Ah-ah-ah-ah.........FADE
