How Do I Tell Her? Lyrics

How do I tell her that I'm going away?
When I know that she'll be begging me to stay
And how do I tell her that the time has come to part?
When she's, she's gonna take it so hard

I don't wanna break her heart
I don't wanna see her cry, no
'Cause I promised her forever
That I'd be by her side so

So how do I tell her, how do I tell her
Tell her goodbye? Oh yeah

How do I tell her that my path has gone and changed?
When I know that her heart won't be able to stand the pain, oh no
And how do I tell her that I'm moving on with my life
When she's just gonna break down and die, oh

I don't wanna break her heart, no
I don't wanna see her cry, no
When I promised the girl forever
I'd be by her side so

So how do I tell her
Tell her, tell her goodbye? Oh yeah, whoa

Listen, she's been forever faithful, honest and true, yes, she has
My God, this has gotta be the worst thing that I ever had to do
How, how, how, how, how, how?

How do I tell her, oh, oh, that the time has come to part?
When I know that she's gonna take it so very hard, yes, she is

Said, I don't wanna break her heart
I don't wanna see the little girl cry
When I promised her forever, oh, oh
That I'd be by her side

How do I tell her
Tell her, tell her goodbye, bye, bye, bye?
Oh baby, bye and whoa

How, how do I tell her?
How do I tell her goodbye, baby
Won't somebody tell me
How do I tell the girl

Bye, bye baby, bye, bye baby
Bye, bye baby, bye, bye baby
Bye, bye baby, bye, bye baby
Bye, bye baby, bye, bye baby, ooh
