Tell Him by The Exciters is featured in Sadie Hawkins, the eleventh episode of Season Four. It is sung by the New Directions Girls, with Brittany and Marley singing lead.
Brittany and Marley walk through the school discussing their crushes: Brittany knows about Marley and Jake's feelings, and Brittany wants to ask Sam. She suggests to Marley that they perform together.
With a turn, both are in blue dresses, along with the New Directions Girls. They perform the song through the hallways and end up in the history classroom. They sing and dance in front of Finn and the boys together with the other New Directions girls. At the end of the performance, Brittany and Marley ask Sam and Jake respectively to the dance, to which they both reply yes. This leaves Kitty rather angry. The neckbraced Cheerio named Jordan then walks past the History Room window and taps the window to make Ryder notice her.

Marley:
I know something about love
Brittany:
You've gotta want it bad
Marley:
If that guy's got into your blood
Brittany:
Go out and get him
Marley with Brittany (New Directions Girls):
If you want him to be (Do, do-do, do, do-do)
The very part of you (Do, do-do, do, do-do)
Makes you want to breathe (Do, do-do, do, do-do)
Here's the thing to do (Do, do-do, do, do-do)
Brittany with Marley and New Directions Girls:
Tell him that you're never gonna leave him
Tell him that you're always gonna love him
Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now
Brittany:
I know something about love
Marley:
You gotta show it and
Make him see the moon up above
Marley with Brittany (New Directions Girls):
Reach out and get him
If you want him to be (Do, do-do, do, do-do)
Always by your side (Do, do-do, do, do-do)
If you want him to (Do, do-do, do, do-do)
Only think of you (Do, do-do, do, do-do)
Brittany with Marley and New Directions Girls:
Tell him that you're never gonna leave him
Tell him that you're always gonna love him
Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now
Brittany with New Directions Girls harmonizing:
Ever since the world began
It's been that way for man
And women were created
Marley with New Directions Girls harmonizing:
To make love their destiny
Then why should true love be
So complicated
Oh, yeah, oh
Marley with Brittany:
I know something about love
You gotta take his hand
Show him what the world is made of
One kiss will prove it
Brittany and Marley (New Directions Girls):
If you want him to be (Do, do-do, do, do-do)
Always by your side (Do, do-do, do, do-do)
Take his hand tonight (Do, do-do, do, do-do)
Swallow your foolish pride (Do, do-do, do, do-do)
Brittany with Marley and New Directions Girls:
Tell him that you're never gonna leave him
Tell him that you're always gonna love him
Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now
Marley:
Oh, you have to tell him now
Brittany with New Directions Girls (Marley):
Tell him that you're never gonna leave him (Oh, yeah)
Tell him that you're always gonna love him (Yeah)
Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now
Marley:
Girl, you gotta tell him right now
Brittany with New Directions Girls (Marley):
Tell him that you're never gonna leave him (Oh, yeah)
Tell him that you're always gonna love him (Yeah)
Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now
Marley:
Just take his hand in yours and tell him
Brittany with New Directions Girls:
Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now
Marley:
Just take his hand in yours and tell him

Tell him, tell him, tell him, (tell him right now)
