Tell It Like It Is Lyrics

If you want something to play with
Go and find yourself a toy
'Cause baby my time is too expensive
And I'm not a little boy, no no

If you are serious, look girl, look girl, look girl
Just don't play with my heart it makes me furious
But if you want me to love you
Then 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
But I Lord I know that deep down inside me
I believe you love me forget your foolish pride

You know life is too short Lord to have sorrow, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You may be here today and I'm gone, and I'm gone
And you may be gone tomorrow
So you might as well get what you want
So go on and live, baby baby, baby baby go on and live


And you tell it like it is
I'm nothing to play with it, girl you better find yourself a toy
But I know deep down inside me
I believe you love me but I'm not your little boy, no

Tell it like it is
Oh I love, oh I love, oh I love, doll I love my doll
And my doll and there is nothing I can do about it

Aaron Neville (born January 24, 1941, New Orleans, Louisiana) is an American soul and R&B singer and musician. He made his debut in 1966 with the hit single Tell It Like It Is, a Number One hit on the Billboard R&B charts. From 1977 he performed as part of The Neville Brothers with his siblings, Art Neville, Charles Neville, Cyril Neville & Ivan Neville.

Neville charted again, in 1989, when he collaborated with Linda Ronstadt on three consecutive duets: Don't Know Much, All My Life, and When Something Is Wrong with My Baby, the first two reached Number One on the Adult Contemporary charts. Neville has released more than 20 singles, including three Number Ones on the Adult Contemporary format, and a fourth on the R&B format.

His other hits have included Everybody Plays the Fool, his successful 1991 cover of the 1972 Main Ingredient song, that reached #8 on the Hot 100; Don't Take Away My Heaven, Hercules and Can't Stop My Heart From Loving You (The Rain Song). Neville's biggest solo successes have been on the Adult Contemporary chart, where "Don't Know Much," "All My Life," and "Everybody Plays the Fool" all reached Number One.
