How Do I Tell Her

Luther Vandross

How, how, how, how

How do I tell her
I don't wanna be here anymore (yeah)
Nothing she did
I just don't feel the way I did before (uh)
How do I tell her
I don't wanna be here anymore (oh, oh)
Nothing she did
I just don't feel the way I did before

I'm doing all I can to try and understand
Why my feelings faded away
She's been nothin' but good to me
I don't wanna hurt but I must be free
I can't stay in this lie
How do I say goodbye

How do I tell her
I don't wanna be here anymore (oh)
Nothing she did
I just don't feel the way I did before
(I don't wanna be here)
How do I tell her
I don't wanna be here anymore (anymore)
Nothing she did
I just don't feel the way I did before (oh, oh)

She pretends she cannot see
The love is gone from me
She carries on as if it is what it was before
But I don't love her anymore (more, oh, oh)
I have to let her know
That I must let her go
I can't stay in this lie
How do I say goodbye

How do I tell her
I don't wanna be here anymore (I don't wanna be here)
Nothing she did
I just don't feel (oh, oh) the way I did before (uh)
How do I tell her
I don't wanna be here anymore (ooh)
Nothing she did
I just don't feel the way I did before (just don't feel the way I)

Oh, I don't know what to do about it
Gotta tell her, gotta tell her, gotta tell her
Oh, there's no way to go around it
I've got to tell her now
But I don't know how

Listen, listen, baby
Listen closely, baby
I just gotta tell you
All the love we once shared is through, ooh

(Oh…yeah)
Listen, listen, baby
Listen (closely) closely, baby
I don't wanna be with you anymore, oh (anymore, oh)
I can't stay (I can't stay) I can't stay

How do I tell her
I don't wanna be here anymore (I don't wanna be here, yeah)
Nothing she did
I just don't feel the way I did before (whoa, oh)
How do I tell her
I don't wanna be here anymore (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Nothing she did
I just don't feel the way I did before
(I don't wanna be here)

How do I tell her
I don't wanna be here anymore (I don't wanna be here)
Nothing she did
I just don't feel the way I did before (be, be…)
How do I tell her
I don't wanna be here anymore (oh)
Nothing she did
I just don't feel the way I (don't feel the way I)
Did before (I don't)

How do I tell her
I don't wanna be here anymore (I don't know)
Nothing she did
I just don't feel the way I did before 
(Feel the way I did before)
How do I tell her
I don't wanna be here anymore 
(I don't wanna be here, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Nothing she did
I just don't feel the way I did before…
