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

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 to 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 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 tellin' you like it is
If you can't treat me right
Go and find yourself a baby boy (I don't want a little boy)
I'm just tellin' you like it is
'Cause I'm too good to you for that (Oh yes you are)
