tell it like it is

if you want something to play with

go and find yourself a toy

baby

my time is too expensive

and i'm not a little boy

if you are serious

don't play with my heart

it makes me furious

but if want me to love you

then

baby

i will

honey i will

you know that i will

tell it like it is

don't be ashamed

let your conscience be your guide

but i know deep down inside of me

i believe that you love me

forget your foolish pride

life is too short to have sorrow

you may be here today and gone tomorrow

you might as well get what you want

so go on and live

baby

go on and live

tell it like it is

tell it like it is

i'm nothin' to play with

go and find yourself a toy

honey my time is too expensive

so why don't you tell it like it is

tell it to my heart

don't you hold back baby

now it's time to start

you've got to shoot it from the hip girl

you've got to tell it to me straight.
