tell her, tell her
why she must leave you alone
tell her, tell her
why someone hangs up
when she answers your phone

if you can't tell her about me
if you can't tell her, it's over today
I'm gonna ride out on the next interstate

tell her, tell her
tell her, tell her

tell her the what it means for another to stray
if you're away too long from your lover
well, your heart may get caught by another
and you'll find your love has strayed

and if you can't tell her it's over
you'll be telling me, instead
and I will have to forget you
and the summer that we shared
the summer that we shared...
