Tell It Like It Is
Royal Billy Joe Lyrics

If you want somethin' to play with
If you're not serious about our relationship and just looking for someone to pass the time with

Go and find yourself a toy
You should look for someone or something else to entertain yourself

Baby, my time is too expensive
I value my time and won't waste it on someone who doesn't take our relationship seriously

And I'm not a little boy
I'm not immature and won't tolerate playing games in our relationship

Tell it like it is
Be honest about your feelings and intentions

Don't be ashamed let your conscience be your guide
Don't feel embarrassed about expressing yourself and follow your moral compass

But I know deep down inside of me
I have a strong feeling that you truly love me

I believe you love me, forget your foolish pride
I think you love me and urge you to put aside any misguided arrogance or egotism

Life is too short to have sorrow
We should enjoy our time together and avoid unnecessary sadness

You may be here today and gone tomorrow
We never know what the future holds and should cherish each moment we have

You might as well get it what you want
You should pursue what you desire and not hold back

So go on and live, baby go on and live
Live your life to the fullest and don't hold back because of fear or uncertainty

I'm nothin' to play with
I won't tolerate games or insincere behavior in our relationship

But I tell it like it is
I'm honest and straightforward in my communication

And I'm not your, I'm not your little boy
I refuse to be treated like a child or be toyed with
