Tell Her you love her Country song

So you say your love's about to end
You say you can't take no more
She's out the door
And your looking for a friend

Who am I to tell you why
But I'm just curious, were you furious
Or did you swallow your pride
And look her in the eye and

Tell her that you love her
Tell her that you need her
Tell her that you want her to stay
Reassure her with a kiss

She may never know unless you show her what your feeling
Tell her you're believing even though it's hard to say
'Cause she needs to know you're thinking of her
So open up and tell her that you love her

Brother I've been right where you are now
And my heart was broke 'cause I never spoke
Those healing words out loud

But I've learned my lesson well
And now every night before I close my eyes
I look at my woman and I ask myself did you

Tell her that you love her
Tell her that you need her
Tell her that you want her to stay
Reassure her with a kiss

She may never know unless you show her what your feeling
Tell her you're believing even though it's hard to say
'Cause she needs to know you're thinking of her
So open up and tell her that you love her

Tell her that you love her

Tell her that you love her
Tell her that you need her
Tell her that you want her to stay
Reassure her with a kiss

She may never know unless you show her what your feeling
Tell her you're believing even though it's hard to say
'Cause she needs to know you're thinking of her
So open up and tell her that you love her
Tell her that you love her

"Tell Her" is a song written by Craig Wiseman and Kwesi B,[2] and recorded by American country music group Lonestar. It was released in September 2000 as the fifth and final single from their third studio album Lonely Grill (1999). The song reached number one on the Billboard country charts, becoming their sixth number one hit.

Content[edit]

"Tell Her" is a country pop ballad. In it, the male narrator addresses a male friend of his who is "lookin' for a friend" to help him. In the first verse, the narrator discovers that his friend is having difficulty in his relationship ("So you say your love's about to end / You say you can't take no more, she's out the door"). The narrator then asks whether the friend was "furious" or if he told his loved one that he loves her.

Co-writer Kwesi B. told The Tennessean that the idea came from a songwriting session with Craig Wiseman. At the time, Kwesi had just had an argument with his wife but reconciled with her the next day. He presented his feelings to Wiseman during the session. The two recorded a demo which was sent to producer Dann Huff, who then gave the song to Lonestar, for whom he was producing at the time. The song is in G major with a main chord pattern of Em-Am-C-G.[3]

Chart performance[edit]

"Tell Her" reached its peak of number one on the Billboard country charts for the week of February 3, 2001. It held the position for two weeks. Like "What About Now" before it, the song also reached the top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 39. It was the fourth consecutive number one song from the album.[4]
