So you say your love's about to end
You say you can't take no more
She's out the door
And you're lookin' for a friend

Who am I to tell you why
But I'm just curious, were you furious
Or did you swallow your pride
And look her in the eye and

Tell her that you love her
Tell her that you need her
Tell her that you want her to stay
Reassure her with a kiss

She may never know unless you
Show her what you're feelin'
Tell her you're believin'
Even though it's hard to say

'Cause she needs to know
You're thinkin' of her
So open up and tell her
That you love her

Brother, I've been right where you are now
And my heart was broke
'Cause I never spoke
Those healin' words out loud

But I've learned my lesson well
And now every night
Before I close my eyes
I look at my woman and I ask myself

Did you tell her that you love her
Tell her that you need her
Tell her that you want her to stay
Reassure her with a kiss

She may never know unless you
Show her what you're feelin'
Tell her you're believin'
Even though it's hard to say

'Cause she needs to know
You're thinkin' of her
So open up and tell her
That you love her
Tell her that you love her

Tell her that you love her
Tell her that you need her
Tell her that you want her to stay
Reassure her with a kiss

She may never know unless you
Show her what you're feelin'
Tell her you're believin'
Even though it's hard to say

'Cause she needs to know
You're thinkin' of her
So open up and tell her
That you love her, oh yeah
Tell her that you love her
