Tell Him
Sonny And Cher · Other Songs - Sonny And Cher
You've gotta want it bad
If that guy's got into your blood
Go out and get him
If you want him to be
The very heart of you
Make you want to breathe
Here's the thing to do
[Chorus]
Tell him
That you're never gonna leave him
Tell him
That you're always gonna love him
Tell him, tell him,
Tell him, tell him right now
I know something about love
You gotta show him
And make him feel the moon up above
Go out and get him
If you want him
To make your heart sing out
If you want him
To always think of you
[Chorus]
Ever since the world began
It's been that way for man
And women were created
To make love their destiny
Then why should true love
Be so complicated, oh yeah?
I know something about love
You gotta take his hand
Show him what the world is made of
One kiss will prove it
If you want him
To be always by your side
Take his hand tonight,
Swallow your foolish pride
[Chorus: x2]
