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

If you are serious

Don't play with my heart, it makes me furious

But if want me to love you

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

Tell it like it is

Don't be ashamed to let your conscience be your guide

But I-I-I-I-I know deep down inside of me

I believe you love me, forget your foolish pride

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

I'm nothin' to play with, go and find yourself a toy

But I-I-I-I-I

Tell it like it is

My time is too expensive

And I'm not your little boy

FADE

Mm mm, tell it like it is
