I'M GONNA HAVE TO TELL HER
(Homer Banks / Carl Hampton / Raymond Jackson)

Isaac Hayes


I'm gonna have to tell her
I just can't help myself
I'll suffer the consequences
I'm to a point
I just dont' care

I've fallen in love with you
And I got to let her know
If leaving her means keeping you
Then I've got to let her go

Thats why ...
I'm gonna have to tell her
It's all over
I'm gonna have to tell her
It's all over now

I've got to try and tell the kids
In a way they'll understand
That sometimes these things
Can happen to a man

I'm hung up on you girl
So much until it hurts
The more I see of you
The less I wanna see of her

I'm gonna have to tell her
It's all over
I'm gonna have to tell her
It's all over now

I'm a hung up on your love
So much until it hurts
The more I see of you
The less I wanna see of her

That's why
I'm gonna have to tell her
It's all over
I'm gonna have to tell her
It's all over now

I didn't mean
To let this thing get so strong.. no
Sometimes when you're merry in love
You can't tell right from wrong

I'm gonna have to tell her
I've slipped and fell in love
I'm gonna have to tell her
It's all over

Got to try and tell the kids
Daddy won't be coming home
I'm gonna have to tell her
She's gonna be sleeping all alone

God give me strength
I don't want to make her cry
But I've got to tell her
Just cant tell her no more lies

I'm gonna have to tell her
It's all over now
I'm gonna have to tell her
It's all over now
