When Will You Tell Him About Me?

WHEN WILL YOU TELL HIM ABOUT ME?
(Toronzo Cannon, Cannonball Express Music admin. by Small Scale Music, ASCAP)

YOU SAID YOU WASN’T HAPPY
ALL HE DO IS GET DRUNK AND FIGHT
I CAN’T EVEN SHOW MY LOVE FOR YOU
WE HAVE TO KEEP IT OUT OF SIGHT
YOU TOLD ME TO BE STILL, THAT OUR DAY WILL COME
I HANG ON TO YOUR WORDS THAT WE’LL BECOME ONE

CHORUS:
BUT I’M TIRED OF SNEAKING AROUND
I CAN’T HOLD YOUR HAND WHEN WE GO DOWNTOWN
I’M TIRED OF THE SECRECY;
WHEN WILL YOU TELL HIM ABOUT ME?

YOU SAID YOU’LL LEAVE HIM
AND I BELIEVED EVERY LIE
IT’S BEEN THREE LONG YEARS
BUT I CAN’T SAY GOODBYE
YOU SAID, “WHAT ABOUT MY KIDS? WHAT ARE WE GON’ DO?
HE MAKE ALL THE MONEY IN THE HOUSE; NOW YOU’LL HAVE TO.”

CHORUS
BUT I’M TIRED OF SNEAKING AROUND
I CAN’T HOLD YOUR HAND WHEN WE GO DOWNTOWN
I’M TIRED OF THE SECRECY;
WHEN WILL YOU TELL HIM ABOUT ME? (TELL HIM BABY)

I’M NOT A BEGGING MAN BUT YOUR INDECISION IS MESSING WITH MY PLANS
BABY, IT’S TIME FOR YOU TO CHOOSE
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?

SOLO

BUT I’M TIRED OF SNEAKING AROUND
I CAN’T HOLD YOUR HAND WHEN WE WALK DOWNTOWN
I’M TIRED OF THE SECRECY;
WHEN WILL YOU TELL HIM ABOUT ME?
(WILL YOU TELL HIM BABY? WHEN WILL YOU TELL HIM ABOUT ME.
TELL HIM, BABY. SEE, I’M READY FOR YOU. ARE YOU READY FOR ME? I’M TIRED OF LIVING OUR LOVE IN THE SHADOWS. TELL HIM ABOUT ME).
