Lauryn Hill - Tell Him

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

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…

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…

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

Bridge

I'll never be jealous

And I won't be too kind

Cause love is not boastful

Oooh and loveis 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…

Tell him I need him [yeah]

Tell him I love him [tell him]

And it'll be alright

*Background singing* Telll him be alright be alright

Tell him tell him I need him

Tell him I love him

It'll be alright
