Tell It Like It Is

If you want something to play with

Go and find yourself a toy

Baby, my time is so expensive, girl, yeah

And I'm not just a little itty bitty baby boy, no, no

Otis, if you are serious

Don't play with my heart

It makes me furious

But if you want me to love you

Baby, you know I will

Honey, you know I will

Tell it like it is

Don't be ashamed

Let your conscience be your guide

Tell it like it is

I want you to forget your foolish pride

Oh, yeah

Life is too short

To have them sorrows

Oh, yes, it is

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

I'm just telling you like it is

If you can't treat me right

Go and find yourself a little bitty baby boy

I don't wanna little boy, I just want you to hold me

I'm just telling you like it is

'Cause I'm too good to you for that

Oh, yes, you are

Don't you mess over me

No, I won't
