Tell It Like It Is
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Before I say 'goodbye', before I tell you I should go
If you want me baby, gonna have to let me know
'Cause I can't read your mind
You gotta play the part, invite me to the show
Rehearsing how it starts with poetry and prose
'Cause I can't read between the lines
Tell me what I've missed
Seal it with the kiss
And tell it like it is, tell it like it is
Honey I insist
You gotta tell it like it is
If you keep it to yourself, I'm sure I'll never see
I won't know how you felt if you alter destiny
And I will become blind
Blind to all the love and all that might have been
Don't hide it in your heart where it's dark and locked in
Oh, I might shed some light
Tell me what I've missed
Seal it with the kiss
And tell it like it is, tell it like it is
Honey I insist
You gotta tell it like it is
Baby's gotta, baby's gotta, baby's gotta
Take it from me
You gotta break the chain, and again
Let your love fly free, yeah
Let your love fly free
And tell it like it is
Tell like it is
Honey I insist
Tell it like it is
Tell it, tell it, tell it like it is
Tell it, oh, tell it, tell it like it is
