Yo'

Tell him

It's like uhh

You know uhh

Sweet, sweet

Sweet (Tell him) hmmm

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

Tell him I love him

And it'll be alright (It'll be alright)

And tell him, tell him I need him (Tell him)

Tell him I love him (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 and not without sin

But now that I'm older, all childish things end

And tell him

Tell him I need him

Tell him I love him

And it'll be alright (It'll be alright)

And tell him, tell him I need him (Tell him)

Tell him I love him (Be alright)

It'll be alright (Be alright)

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's gonna, be, alright

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

Tell him I love him

And it'll be alright (It'll be alright)

Tell him, tell him I need him (Tell him)

Tell him I love him (Be alright)

It'll be alright (Be alright)

Tell him, tell him I need him (Tell him)

It'll be alright (Be alright)

Tell him

Be alright, be alright

Tell him

Be alright, be alright

Tell him

Be alright, be alright
