Lyrics Dionne Warwick

Dionne Warwick

How Can I Tell Him

How can I tell him, how can I tell him

I got to be moving on

Can't seem to say it

But how can I hide it

Whatever we had is gone

He still says he needs me

That he'll never leave me

But he knows it's not the same

How can I hurt him

But doesn't it hurt him

To keep on with his game

No use pretending

It's all over

No happy ending

It's all over

Can't go on avoiding the suffering in his eyes

Can't go on protecting him with lies

No more lies

He's holding me near him

He's planning our future

But my mind is miles away

It's wrong to deceive him

It's wrong not to leave him

Gets more painful the longer I stay

I want to stick by him

I want to still love him

But love's not a matter of choice

How can I tell him

I got to tell him

But it's like I lost my voice

No use pretending

It's all over

No happy ending

It's all over

Can't go on avoiding the suffering in his eyes

Can't go on protecting him with lies

No more lies

How can I hurt him

How can I tell him

Got to be moving on

Can't seem to say it

Whatever we had is gone

Tell me how can I tell him

How can I tell him

Can't seem to hide it

Got to keep moving on

Got to be moving on

Got to keep moving on

Got to be moving on, moving on, moving on

I can't hide this hurt inside

Just got to keep on moving on

Can't keep hurting inside

Just ot to keep on moving, moving

How can I tell him

Oh, how can I tell him...
