"Tell It Like It Is" lyrics

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 you want me to love you
Then baby, I will, you know 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 you love me
Forget your foolish pride
And tell it like it is

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

But tell it like it is
I'm nothin' to play with
Go and find yourself a toy
Yeah, I tell it like it is
My time is too expensive
And I'm not a little boy

So tell it like it is, oh, oh, ooh
Let your conscience be your guide
And tell it like it is, oh, oh, ooh
Yeah, tell it like it is
Why don't you tell me, baby?
