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 
That boy, he doesn't know about you

I can tell him my troubles 
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 you
So boy won't you tell me how to tell him about you 

How can I tell him I don't miss him 
Whenever I am 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 you
So boy won't you tell me how to tell him about you
