Tell It Like It Is Songtext
von Etta James

If you want something to play with
Go and find yourself a toy
Baby, my time is too expensive
And I′m not, I'm not your little girl
If you are serious
Don′t play with my heart, it makes me furious
And if you want me, if you want me to love you
Then baby, I will, ooh, maybe baby I will

Tell it like it is
Don't be ashamed to let your conscience be your guide
'Cause I know, ′cause I know deep down, deep down inside of me, baby
I believe you love me, forget about, forget about
Forget about your foolish, your foolish pride, yeah


Life is too short to have sorrow, yeah
Ooh
You may be here today and gone tomorrow
You might as well, you might as well get what you want
And go on and live, ooh
Baby, bye, go on and live it now, yeah

Tell it, tell it, tell it, tell it
Come on and tell it like it is, now
Don′t be ashamed to let your conscience be your guide
I know, I know that deep down, deep down inside of me
Boy, I believe you love me
Forget about, forget about your foolish pride, boy

Ooh, your proud side, now
Ooh, come on put it darling
Darling, tell it, tell it like it is
Oh, come boy, tell me the truth now
You got to me tell it like it, tell me like it is
Tell me it like it is (tell it like it is)
