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 [bad word] 
Cause he's all that I got and
Tell him...

Tell him I need him tell him
Tell him I love him And it'll be alright
Tell him And it'll be alright And 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 not without sin
But now that I'm older all childish things end
And tell him...

Tell him I need him tell him
Tell him I love him And it'll be alright
Tell him And it'll be alright And it'll be alright

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 I need him
Tell him I love him
Everything's gonna be alright
Ya, ya, ya, ya... ya...

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 [bad word] 
To the love that was shown when our lives were spared
And tell him...

Tell him I need him tell him
Tell him I love him And it'll be alright
Tell him And it'll be alright
Tell him I need him tell him
Tell him I love him And it'll be alright
Tell him And it'll be alright And it'll be alright
Tell him I need him tell him
Tell him I love him And it'll be alright
Tell him And it'll be alright And it'll be alright
