[Verse 1]
You say your cards are lying there on the table
That you've done all you can possibly do, yeah
But I don't think that you ever were able
To come right out and just tell her the truth, yeah
You give her just enough room to believe
On what she wants to believe
But if it really is over and done with
There's something you gotta do, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Just tell her, just tell her
If you don't tell her now, you never will

[Chorus]
Tell her, just tell her if you got nothing to hide
Let her know, oh, that you let her go
Tell her, just tell her who's been fooling
If you really mean it, don't you leave it until tomorrow

[Verse 2]
It may appear as though you don't even want her
It may look that way to me and to you
But this is something she would never consider
She's so in love with everything that you do
You give her just enough room to believe
What she needs to believe
But if there ever was something you owed her
You know what you gotta do, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Just tell her, just tell her
If you don't tell her, you can bet I will

[Chorus]
Tell her, just tell her if you got nothing to hide
Let her know, mmm, that you let her go
Tell her, just tell her who's been fooling who
If you really mean it, don't you leave it until tomorrow

[Bridge]
You tell me it's harder for you
But I don't want to hear you complain
And don't you come running to me
When your loss turns out to be my gain, ooh

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
So if it really is over and done with
You know that I will be waiting for you
So just tell her, just tell her
If you don't wanna, well, you know I will

[Chorus]
Tell her, just tell her if you got nothing to hide
Let her know, ooh, that you let her go
Tell her, just tell her who's been fooling who
If you really mean it, don't you leave it until tomorrow
Tell her, just tell her if you got nothing to hide
Let her know, ooh, that you let her go
Tell her, just tell her who's been fooling who
If you really mean it, don't you leave it until tomorrow
[Outro]
Tell her, just tell her
