Tell It Like It Is

If you want something to play with

Go and find yourself a toy

'Cause, baby, my time is too expensive

And I'm not a little boy, no, no

If you are serious

Little girl, little girl, little girl, then don't play with my heart

It makes me furious

Oh, but if you want me to love you

Then, a-baby, I will

Girl, you know that I will

Tell it like it is

Don't be ashamed to let your conscience be your guide

But I, Lord, I know deep down inside of me

I believe you love me, forget your foolish pride

You know life is too short, Lord, to have sorrow

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You may be here today, oh, my darlin', my darlin'

You may be gone tomorrow

So you might as well get what you want

So go on and live

Baby, baby, baby, baby, go on and live

Tell it like it is

I'm nothing to play with

Girl, you better find yourself a toy

But I know deep down inside of me

I believe you love me, but I'm not your little boy

No, no

Tell it like it is

Oh, and I love you, oh, I love you, oh, I love you

Lord, I love my darlin', my darlin'

There is nothing I can do about it
