tell him

Lauryn Hill

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
tell him i love him and it'll be alright
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 have nothing at all
i can give away everything i possess
but am without i 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.
Chorus
i'll never be jealous and i won't be too proud
cause love is not boastful
oh and love is not loud
tell him need him
tell him i love him
everything is 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 love we were shown when our lives were spared
and tell him
tell him i need him
tell him i love him
Chorus
