How Do I Tell Her? – R Kelly

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’ll be by her side.

So, how do I tell her—how do I tell her—tell her goodbye?

How do I tell her that my path is gone and changed,
When I know that her heart won’t be able to stand the pain?
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’ll be by her side?

So, how do I tell her—tell her—tell her goodbye?

Listen!

She’s been forever faithful, honest and true.
Yes, she has!
My God, this is gotta be the worst thing that I ever had to do!
How, how, how, how, how, how?

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

See, I don’t wanna break her heart.
I don’t wanna see the little girl cry!
When I promised her forever
That I’ll be by her side.
How do I tell her—tell her—tell her goodbye?
Bye, bye, bye, oh, baby, bye!

How do I tell her—how do I tell her—goodbye, baby?
I want somebody tell me how do I tell her, girl?
Bye, bye, baby!
Bye, bye, baby!
Bye, bye, baby!
Bye, bye, baby!
