Tell It Like It Is Songtext
von Bettye Swann

If you want something to play with
Go and find yourself a toy
My time is too expensive
And anyway, you′re not a little boy

But if you, baby, if you're serious
Don′t play with my heart, you make me furious
But if you want me, if you want me to love you
Baby, I will, boy, you know that I will


Tell it like it is
Don't be ashamed
Let your conscience be your guide
'Cause I know (tell it like it is)
Deep down inside of me
I believe you love me
So forget your foolish pride

Life is just too short to have sorrow
You can be here today and gone tomorrow
Get what you want, baby
Go on and leave, go on and leave

Tell it like it is
If you wanna play, boy
Go and find yourself a toy, hmm
′Cause my time (tell it like it is)
Is too expensive
Baby, and you′re no longer little boy

(Tell it like it is) tell it like it is
Don't be ashamed
Let your conscience be your guide
′Cause I know...
