How can I tell her about me? (Song remake)

Printer-friendly version
How can I tell her about me?
With apologies to Lobo, sung to the tune "How can I tell her about you?"

She knows when I am lonesome
She cries when I am sad
She's up in the good times
She's down in the bad
Whenever I am discouraged
She knows just what to do
But girl,
She doesn't know about you

I can tell her my troubles
She makes them all seem right
I can make up excuses
For why her clothes are mussed
We can talk of tomorrow
I'll tell her things that I wanna do
But girl,
How can I tell her about you?

How can I tell her about you?
Girl, please tell me what to do
Everything seems right whenever I am you
So girl, won't you tell me
How to tell her about you

How can I tell her I become you
Whenever she is away
How can I say it's you I think of
Every single night and day
But when is it easy telling someone the truth
Oh girl, help me tell her about you
How can I tell her about you?

Girl, please tell me what to do
Everything seems right whenever I am you
So girl, won't you tell me
How to tell her about me?

Glad you liked it,

It is a tricky one, isn't it?

Yes, it's a hard call to make. Sometimes, very infrequently, but just sometimes it works out OK, but the odds are against it. I remember exactly the emotions you describe, before evens overtook me.
Still, All's Well that Ends Well to quote himself.
A nice modification of a song!

what a long strange trip its been."

I'm one of the lucky ones,

I did tell my wife and she is actually happy about it, because I am doing so much better having done so. I've got a wonderful woman. Thanks for the comment. Fun side bit, I actually have done that play!

Just needs a few more songs

before I'll have enough for an album. Ty for the comment hun.

I Heard That...

All's well that ends in a well, but I probably heard it wrong....

Hugs and Bright Blessings,

Thanks for the comment.

I wasn't familiar with the original song

but now I've heard it, you have written a very clever adaption, which obviously resonates with some readers. Well done!

I don't know the original song, but the verse is sound and flows well. I can get the concept without the music, which is an excellent test of good lyrics.

Good job, Holly!
