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 The boy 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 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 yo--u So boy won't you tell me how to tell him about you a--h a--h o--oh 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 telling 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 yo--u So boy won't you tell me how to tell him about you a--h a--h o--oh
