Lyrics for Tell Her About It as interpreted by kevin

Tell Her About It Lyrics
Listen boy
Don't want to see you let a good thing
Slip away


You know I don't like watching
Anybody make the same mistakes
I made


She's a real nice girl
And she's always there for you
But a nice girl wouldn't tell you what you should do


Listen boy
I'm sure that you think you got it all
Under control


You don't want somebody telling you
The way to stay in someone's soul


You're a big boy now
You'll never let her go
But that's just the kind of thing
She ought to know


Tell her about it
Tell her everything you feel
Give her every reason to accept
That you're for real


Tell her about it
Tell her all your crazy dreams
Let her know you need her
Let her know how much she means


Listen boy
It's not automatically a certain guarantee
To insure yourself
You've got to provide communication constantly


When you love someone
You're always insecure
And there's only one good way
To reassure


Tell her about it
Let her know how much you care
When she can't be with you
Tell her you wish you were there


Tell her about it
Every day before you leave
Pay her some attention
Give her something to believe


Cause now and then
She'll get to worrying
Just because you haven't spoken
For so long
Though you may not have done anything
Will that be a consolation when she's gone


Listen boy
It's good information from a man
Who's made mistakes


Just a word or two that she gets from you
Could be the difference that it makes


She's a trusting soul
She's put her trust in you
But a girl like that won't tell you
What you should do


Tell her about it
Tell her everything you feel
Give her every reason
To accept that you're for real


Tell her about it
Tell her all your crazy dreams
Let her know you need her
Let her know how much she means


Tell her about it
Tell her how you feel right now
Tell her about it
The girl don't want to wait too long
You got to tell her about it
Tell her now and you won't go wrong
You got to tell her about it
Before it gets too late
You got to tell her about it
You know the girl don't want
To wait--you got to
Tell her about it

The clip to this song is really amazing with billy "performing" on the ed sullivan show, and reaching people through the camera. It really complements the song. Nice cameo by Rodney Dangerfield too, May he rest in piece.

One of my best guy friends had a crush on one my my best girl friends, all the advice I gave him came from this song.
And about the music video, does anyone know what it says at the bottom of the screen at the end, when it shows some Russian guy dancing to the song?

GUYS - would you please heed Bill Joel's advice and just TALK to your girlfriends/wives? That's all women really want. Seriously!

This song is a step-by-step guide to becoming a pussy-whipped little bitch boy who no chick will ever respect. The girl in question in this song is a high maintenance passive aggressive cunt. Cut your balls off and hand them to her in a jar if you want to be only half as pathetic as this song advises.

It is good to be honest and open, but this song advocates castration.

Talking to her, and telling her you love her is castration?

This song makes it seem so easy, when in reality it can be the hardest thing in the world to take his advice. It's a good morale booster though.

normstore, I think you are going a little OTT. However, I do think that "Though you may not have done anything
Will that be a consolation when she's gone?" is a little dumb as well, basically saying apologize even if you didn't do anything wrong unless you want her to leave you.

I 100% agree with beckStein. I got a crush on this girl from my school whos a senior, and I'm a sophmore which makes it harder. but its a start so thats good. I still got the summer, a band, and the idea to cover this song. two guys in the band are seniors that know her and we might be playing some grad parties this summer. but even if I dont ask her out, its not like I'm in *TOO* deep yet.

today I had this on Myspace Playlist and suddenly found myself involuntarily dancing around the house (not crazy, more like a late 70s-early 80s strut, like John Travolta in the intro of SNF lol).

Wow, normstore. Way to not get this song at all. I don't think it's literally saying tell her everything evar!!! I think it's more telling the listener to not be afraid to open up about how you feel for your lady.

And Pixeleen, I don't think he's saying apologize even if you didn't do anything. It's saying that you should talk to her if she seems upset and find out what's wrong. You'll be more likely to fix things, and less likely to be viewed by her, as someone who doesn't care to know what's wrong.

You don't have to literally talk about everything. You just have to be willing to be open emotionally, which is something that I don't think some guys feel okay doing.
