Listen boy, don’t want to see you let a good thing slip away You know I don’t like watching anybody make the same mistakes I made She’s a real nice girl And she’s always there for you But a nice girl wouldn’t tell you what you should do
Listen boy, I’m sure that you think you got it all under control You don’t want somebody telling you the way to stay in someone’s soul You’re a big boy now, you’ll never let her go But that’s just the kind of thing she ought to know
Tell her about it!
Tell her everything you feel Give her every reason to accept that you’re for real
Tell her about it! Tell her all your crazy dreams Let her know you need her, let her know how much she means
Listen boy, it’s not automatically a certain guarantee To insure yourself you’ve got to provide communication constantly When you love someone, you’re always insecure And there’s only one good way to reassure
Tell her about it!
Let her know how much you care When she can’t be with you tell her you wish you were there Tell her about it Every day before you leave Pay her some attention, give her something to believe
Cause now and then she’ll get to worrying Just because you haven’t spoken for so long Though you may not have done anything Will that be a consolation when she’s gone?
Listen boy, it’s good information from a man who’s made mistakes Just a word or two that she gets from you could be the difference that it makes She’s a trusting soul, she’s put her trust in you But a girl like that won’t tell you what you should do
Tell her about it Tell her everything you feel Give her every reason to accept that you’re for real Tell her about it Tell her all your crazy dreams Let her know you need her, let her know how much she means
Tell her about it Tell her how you feel right now Tell her about it The girl don’t want to wait too long You got to tell her about it Tell her now and you won’t go wrong You got to tell her about it Before it gets too late You got to tell her about it You know the girl don’t want To wait—you got to Tell her about it
Well, if people want to downvote good advice because it’s in song form, that’s not my problem. ;)
It’s not like I have anything to worry about. I’ve got over seven thousand karma right now, so it’s not like my posting privileges are in danger or anything.
Downvote away!

Your song lyrics might be better received if you truncated them somewhere and possibly included an explanation.

(I’ll cut down the other one, though.)
Karma is information, not money.
Actually some on lesswrong try to make bets with it as currency.
You shouldn’t use the fact you have given clear and useful comments in the past excuse you from giving equally good ones now.
What I meant to say was that, well, I think it’s a good Rationality Quote, even if a lot of other people don’t.
Why do you think it’s a good rationality quote?
