Tell It Like It Is (New Orleans Version) - Aaron Neville

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

Then don't play with my heart

It makes me furious, hmm

Oh, 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, let your conscience be your guide

But I, lord, I know deep down inside of me

I believe you love me, forget your foolish pride, hmm

You know life is too short, lord

To have sorrow, yeah yeah yeah yeah

You may be here today, oh, my darlin', my darlin'

You may gone tomorrow

So you might as well get what you want

So go on and live, baby, baby, baby, baby, go on and live

Tell it like it is

I'm nothin' to play with, 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

Oh how I love, my darlin', my darlin'

There is nothin' I can do about it, oh
