Temptation - Billy Joel

Listen boyDon't want to see you let a good thingSlip away
You know I don't like watchingAnybody make the same mistakesI made
She's a real nice girlAnd she's always there for you
But a nice girl wouldn't tell you what you should doListen boy
I'm sure that you think you got it allUnder control
You don't want somebody telling youThe way to stay in someone's soul
You're a big boy nowYou'll never let her goBut that's just the kind of thing
She ought to knowTell her about itTell her everything you feel
Give her every reason to acceptThat you're for realTell her about it
Tell her all your crazy dreamsLet her know you need her
Let her know how much she meansListen boy
It's not automatically a certain guaranteeTo insure yourself
You've got to provide communication constantlyWhen you love someone
You're always insecureAnd there's only one good wayTo reassureTell her about it
Let her know how much you careWhen she can't be with you
Tell her you wish you were thereTell her about itEvery day before you leave
Pay her some attentionGive her something to believeCause now and then
She'll get to worryingJust because you haven't spokenFor so long
Though you may not have done anythingWill that be a consolation when she's gone
Listen boyIt's good information from a manWho's made mistakes
Just a word or two that she gets from youCould be the difference that it makes
She's a trusting soulShe's put her trust in you
But a girl like that won't tell youWhat you should doTell her about it
Tell her everything you feelGive her every reasonTo accept that you're for real
Tell her about itTell her all your crazy dreamsLet her know you need her
Let her know how much she meansTell her about itTell her how you feel right now
Tell her about itThe girl don't want to wait too long
You got to tell her about itTell her now and you won't go wrong
You got to tell her about itBefore it gets too lateYou got to tell her about it
You know the girl don't wantTo wait--you got toTell her about it
