[Verse 1] You said you wasn't happy, all he do is get drunk and fight I can't even show my love for you, we have to keep it out of sight You told me to be still, that our day will come I hang on to your words that we'll become one [Chorus] But I'm tired of sneaking around I can't hold your hand when we go downtown I'm tired of the secrecy When will you tell him about me? Yeah, yeah [Verse 2] You said you'll leave him and I believed every lie It's been three long years but I can't say goodbye You said, “What about my kids? What are we gon' do? He make all the money in the house, now you'll have to” [Chorus] But I'm tired of sneaking around I can't hold your hand when we go downtown I'm tired of the secrecy When will you tell him about me? (Tell him baby) [Verse 3] I'm not a begging man But your indecision is messing with my plans Baby, it's time for you to choose So what you gon' do? Ooh [Chorus] But I'm tired of sneaking around I can't hold your hand when we walk downtown I'm tired of the secrecy When will you tell him about me? [Outro] Will you tell him baby? When will you tell him about me? Tell him, baby See, I'm ready for you Are you ready for me? I'm tired of living our love in the shadows Tell him about me
