I knew a girl who's broken-hearted
Over a boy who could not share his feelings
She really loved him
And I know a boy who could not say just
Three little words that would make her day
It hurt her, though he really loved her
If there's a lesson to be learned it's a hard one to take
Once it falls apart it's so hard to unbreak
So don't you ever make that mistake

Chorus:
Tell her you love her (how much you love her)
How much you love her (tell her)
Don't turn away
Don't be afraid
Tell her you love her

Time marches on and the boy grew older
Every day wondering if he told her something
Would it be different

If there's a lesson to be learned it's a hard one to take
Once it falls apart it's so hard to unbreak
So don't you ever make that mistake

Chorus:
Tell her you love her (how much you love her)
How much you love her (tell her)
Don't turn away
Don't be afraid
Tell her you love her
How much you love her
Don’t turn away
Don’t be afraid

If there's a lesson to be learned it's a hard one to take
Once it falls a part it's so hard to unbreak (to unbreak)
So don't you ever make that mistake
Tell her you love her

Oh tell her you love her (how much you love her)
How much you love her ooh yeah (tell her)
Don't turn away
Don't be afraid
Just tell her you love her (how much you love her)
How much you love her ooh oh (tell her)
Don't turn away
Don't be afraid
Just tell her you love her
