Tell Her
Jesse McCartney Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know how it feels
To wake up without her
Lying here all alone
Just thinking about her

I can't believe
Her hold on me
It's something indescribable
I know she knows
But won't you please

If you see my girl
Just tell her I miss her smile
Tell her I'm counting the minutes
Gonna see her in a little while
But I know when she
Holds onto me
She's the one thing that I could never live without
Oh, oh, oh
Tell her I love her

Oh yeah, just tell her I love her

The way that she moves
You know what it does to me
When I catch her eye
I can hardly breathe

Still can't believe
Her hold on me
She's just so indescribable
I know she knows
But won't you please, please yeah

If you see my girl
Just tell her I miss her smile
Tell her I'm counting the minutes
Gonna see her in a little while
But I know when she
Holds onto me
She's the one thing that I could never live without
Oh oh oh
Tell her I love her

Every time that I'm around her
I just go to pieces crashing, tumbling to the ground
I'm so glad I found her

I know how it feels

If you see my girl
Just tell her I miss her smile
Tell her I'm counting the minutes
Gonna see her in a little while
But I know when she
Holds onto me
She's the one thing that I could never live without
Oh, oh, oh
Just tell her I love her

If you see my girl
Just tell her I miss her smile
Tell her I'm counting the minutes
Gonna see her in a little while
But I know when she
Holds onto me
She's the one thing that I could never live without
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh




And tell her I love her
Tell her I love her
