Tell Him

LAURYN HILL

*Talking*



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



*Singing*



Sweet 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...



Chorus



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...



Chorus



Bridge



I'll never be jealous



And I won't be too proud



Cause love is not boastful



Oooh and love is 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...



Chorus w/ adlibs til fade
