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.

If you want something to play with

Go and find yourself a toy

Baby my time is too expensive

And I'm not your little toy

If you are serious

Don't play with my heart

It makes me furious

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

Tell it like it is

I believe you love me, forget your foolish pride

Cause 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

If you are serious

Don't play with my heart

It makes me furious

But if you want me to love you

Then a baby I will, girl you know that I will
