After 7 - How Do You Tell The One Lyrics
Today I felt a pain inside my heart
The thought of leaving you was on my mind
If I've been deceiving you, it's all because I'm blind
'cause I care for you more than you know
Although my heart says go
Today I saw the tears inside your eyes
The thought of hurting you, I'd rather die
If I'm deserting you, I don't mean to make you cry
'cause I care for you more than you know
Although my heart says
How do you tell the one
You love goodbye for good
Or even know if you should
And how do you say the words
You thought you never could
When you promised her
That you love was true
Said I'd never think, of leaving you
Oh how can love, be cruel
Today I felt a pain inside my heart
The thought of leaving you had crossed my mind
If I've been deceiving you, it's only cause I'm blind
'cause I care for you more than you know
Although my heart says go
How do you tell the one
You love goodbye for good
Or even know if you should
And how do you say the words
You thought you never could
When you promised her
That you love was true
Said I'd never think, of leaving you
Oh how can love, be cruel
How can you live a lie
When you know it's wrong
And you know it's not right
When you say you do
But you know you don't
When you say you will
But you know that you won't
When you're not alive
You should let it die
Just let go, just let go, of the pain inside
Tell me how do you know
Tell me how to let go
Tell me how, how, how
How do you tell the one
You love goodbye for good
Or even know if you should
And how do you say the words
You thought you never could
When you promised her
That you love was true
Said I'd never think, of leaving you
Oh how can love, be cruel
The thought of leaving you was on my mind
If I've been deceiving you, it's all because I'm blind
'cause I care for you more than you know
Although my heart says go
Today I saw the tears inside your eyes
The thought of hurting you, I'd rather die
If I'm deserting you, I don't mean to make you cry
'cause I care for you more than you know
Although my heart says
How do you tell the one
You love goodbye for good
Or even know if you should
And how do you say the words
You thought you never could
When you promised her
That you love was true
Said I'd never think, of leaving you
Oh how can love, be cruel
Today I felt a pain inside my heart
The thought of leaving you had crossed my mind
If I've been deceiving you, it's only cause I'm blind
'cause I care for you more than you know
Although my heart says go
How do you tell the one
You love goodbye for good
Or even know if you should
And how do you say the words
You thought you never could
When you promised her
That you love was true
Said I'd never think, of leaving you
Oh how can love, be cruel
How can you live a lie
When you know it's wrong
And you know it's not right
When you say you do
But you know you don't
When you say you will
But you know that you won't
When you're not alive
You should let it die
Just let go, just let go, of the pain inside
Tell me how do you know
Tell me how to let go
Tell me how, how, how
How do you tell the one
You love goodbye for good
Or even know if you should
And how do you say the words
You thought you never could
When you promised her
That you love was true
Said I'd never think, of leaving you
Oh how can love, be cruel

After 7 How Do You Tell The One Comments
This song plays like a cool summer breeze on the hottest day in July. Honestly, r&b , soul love songs don’t get better than this, and it’s one of Kenny’s best. And if I had to make a list, it’s at the top. Honestly, this song kills me...
This song is what I be thinking lately about my relationship
TRUE ENOUGH THE LATE AND GREAT MELVIN EDMONDS WILL
ALWAYS BE HIGHLY MISSED
BUT IT'S TRULY A BLESSING
THAT HIS SON
JASON EDMONDS JOINED THEM
BEFORE HE LEFT "AFTER 7" WHICH KEEPS THIS AMAZING
R&B RECORDING ARTIST TOGETHER AS #1 WHILE THEY CONTINUE TO PRODUCE MORE
GREAT MUSIC TOGETHER AS JASON SINGS GREAT AND
YES HE PLAYS THE KEYS
EXTREMELY WELL,
NOW LAST, BUT NOT LEAST
I CANNOT FORGET THEIR AMAZING AND VERY TALENTED
BROTHER AND EXTRAORDINARY
MUSIC PRODUCER
KENNY "BABYFACE" EDMONDS
WOW MORE
CAN I SAY ABOUT THIS
EXTRAORDINARY GROUP OF R&B SINGERS & BEST FRIENDS OF A
LIFETIME
Funny how a Beautiful song can give you closure .. Thanks After 7 and you too Chris JP....
After 7 Is So Smooth... Old School Music Is The Best...
Music like this is always good for heart and soul. Do anyone agree with me.
R.I.P. Melvin this song is all that and more they are my Favorite Group of All Time
Love this song so much.
This song, in my opinion, has the most significant impact of perfection out of all the incomparable work from After 7. Rest in peace to Mr. Melvin Edmonds & may God bring comfort to his family.
RIP, Melvin you will be missed.
this song only went to #60 on the R&B charts in 1996!!!
RIP Melvin Edmonds 😢 you'll surely be missed
Is it posible to get back to this in the industry. Full songs with feelings 3 verses 3 choruses a reverb talking a sing off and harmonizing?
Plzs Do,we need this kind of music back!!
MuZic therapy
This was one thoes songs going through a relationship breakdown asking questions ,Doubts,what ifs, what happens next.. So many questions back then you didnt have the answer to..But looking forward 15 years later you release you needed to go through that pain stage to get where you are now.Thanks After 7 lyrics were heartfelt.and it got me through some hard times when i thought sadness was forever..Guess not.
😍😍this song still does the things🙌🙌 😭😭❤
2019? Who’s still listening
i'm crying listen this song, so beautiful..
This song can be released right now and be at #1
Melvin had an overlooked and underrated sexy melodic tone They were a good blend. But I could have listened to a Cd with just his voice singing soft melodic ballads.
😢 RIP Melvin Edmonds
When music was music
Takes me back to high school... It doesn't get better than this...
Some records just break u . This is one of them....
This song is always played on repeat!
Melvin's part on this song is perfect. Love it.
These brothers are sooooo talented. Everything they touch turns to gold. Blessed and Brilliant talented. Thank you Edmond Brothers.
My favorite song by After 7. Beautiful melody and deep words!! Babyface is a legend!! The melodies and words he comes io with is unbelievable!!! One of the best songs by Babyface!!
Clara. reminded me of the time i had to let you go. Such a classic.
These brothers know how to sing the pain out of your heart and make love flow right into it. That's a real gift. Sing on After 7.
So touching so real.
I am and have been in love with After 7 for ever, I love their new CD, glad they came back xoxoxo
My favorite song by After 7. Should have been released as a single!!!
You are so right! I always believed the same thing!
Omggggg. ..I love it Guido! Just the intro killed me!
It charted at #60 R&B.
beautiful wedding song for puddle of portrait
this is a great song that tells what could happen in a relationship, it is right on point
Yes very nice but true words how could you...
Beautifully spoken!
Tracy Allen .........I wish Babyface would make this kind of music again. Get all his old instruments out to give us his signature sound again! Kenny "Babyface" Edmunds..leave the stuff you have been doing lately alone! This is the sound we want! Bring it back pleeeeeeze?
Get Darryl Simmonds and L.A Reid back in that studio with you. I know you can do it alone but the magic will spark up with them. Take it back to where you started out. Karyn White should never have gone to JAM AND LEWIS. BIG CAREER MISTAKE! They are TOTALLY brilliant but it didn't work as well. Anyone agree? Make an album like you did with WAITING TO EXHALE with various artists using your "original style" with your friends Toni Braxton, Karyn White, Johnny Gill, Boys to Men, Tevin Campbell, Gladys Knight etc. GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT WE WANT AND LOVE YOU FOR!
I been looking for this song
Babyface productions......THE BEST!
Today I felt a pain inside my heart, How do you tell the one you love goodbye for good, when promised her, the lyrics are the bomb.
Curtis Gilbert thanks to Babyface!
even to this day this is a beautiful song, wish they would make music like this today.
Old school is thousand times better than to days music
Love the lyrics... Typical Babyface.
Today is my lucky day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i finally get to hear this song again after ages.......finally
been looking for this song for ages.....
nice song from their album reflections, had never heard this one before this posting. like it a lot.
love ittt!!!
AFTER 7!
I finally found it ,I luv this song
#classic
Great song! This song has propelled me recently to leave my current relationship without looking back! What God has for me is for me! You have to truely love yourself and know that you are treasure in the eyes of God! Oftentimes we just settle for less just to say we have someone! It's not worth it!! Live life to the full because it too short! My hat goes off to the person who posted this single! Gave me the chills all over again!! Love,peace, and prosperity!!!
fjohnson02 this song describes me right now...😔
from highschool up till today......still a deep song...
i have been looking for this forever!

thanks!

Wow dam this is the real 90s jam rite here, this came out in my high school days when i was trying to smooth at my school dance. Its crazy how in the 90s being smooth and romantic was the way to get chics. Now days its totally different
