"Tell Him" lyrics

"Tell Him"
(feat. Lalah Hathaway)

I listen and listen and listen
Weary of the line
He's looking for help but somehow
My lips start the fire

I give him the food I'm making
I give him the money I'm saving
He won't hear a thing I'm saying
Just wanna make it right

Crazy how a kiss takes the power from your lips
He don't wanna hear it from me, hear it from me
Crazy how a kiss takes the power from your lips
He's not gonna hear it from me, hear it from me

You gonna have to tell him
You gonna have to tell him
You gonna have to tell him
You gonna have to tell him

I loved him and loved him and loved him
Somewhere along the line
He misplaced his trust or grew thin
And I gave up the fight

I give him the love I'm saving
I give him the food I'm making
He won't hear a thing I'm saying
Just wanna make it right

Crazy how a kiss takes the power from your lips
He don't wanna hear it from me, hear it from me
Crazy how a kiss takes the power
He won't hear it from me

You gonna have to tell him
You gonna have to tell him
You gonna have to tell him
You gonna have to tell him
