[Verse 1]
Let me be patient, let me be kind
Make me unselfish without bein' blind
Though I may suffer, I'll envy it not
And endure what comes, 'cause he's all that I got, gotta tell him
[Chorus]
(Tell him) Tell him I need him (Tell him)
Tell him I love him (Tell him)
And it'll be alright (Tell him)
And tell him (Tell him, tell him)
It'll be alright (Tell him)
It'll be alright (Tell him)
[Verse 2]
Now I may have faith, to make mountains fall
But if I lack love, then I am nothin' at all
If I can give away, everything I possess
But I'm without love, then I have no happiness
I know I'm imperfect and not without sin
And now that I'm older, all childish things end and tell him
[Chorus]
(Tell him) Tell him I need him (Tell him)
Tell him I love him (Tell him)
And it'll be alright (Tell him)
And tell him
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
[Verse 3]
And I'll never be jealous
And I won't be too proud
'Cause love is not boastful
Ooh, and love is not loud
[Chorus]
Tell him I need him
Tell him I love him
Everything is gon', is gonna be alright
Ooh, no, no
Ooh, oh, oh
[Bridge]
I may have wisdom and knowledge on earth
But if I speak wrong, ooh, 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
[Chorus]
Tell him I need him
Tell him I love him
And it'll be alright
And tell him
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
And tell him
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
Ooh
