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 what comes
Cause he's all that I got
and tell him...
Tell him I need him
Tell him I love him
And it'll be alright
be alright
be alright
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
then I'm without love
and I'd have no happiness
I know I'm imperfect
but not without sin
and now that I'm older
all childish things end
and tell him...
Tell him I need him
Tell him I love him
And it'll be alright
be alright
be alright
I'll never be jealous
And I won't be too proud
Cause love is not boastful
Oooh and love is not loud
Tell him I need him
Tell him I love him
and everything is gonna
is gonna be alright
Now I may have wisdom
and knowledge on Earth
But if I speak wrong
ooooo 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...

Tell him I need him
Tell him I love him
And it'll be alright
Telll himmm
be alright
be alright
Telll himmm
be alright
be alright
