Artist: Otis Redding

Title: Tell it like it is

---------------------------

If you want something to play with

Go and find yourself a toy

Baby my time is so expensive, girl, yeah

And I'm not just a little little betty baby boy, no no

Otis, if you are serious

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

But if you want me to love you

Baby, you know I will, honey, you know I will

Tell it like it is, yeah

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

Tell it like it is

I want you to forget your foolish pride, oh yeah

Life is too short to have sorrow (oh, yes it is)

You may be here today and gone tomorrow

You might as well get what you want

So go on and live, Carla honey, baby, go on and live

I’m just tell it like it is

Just you can threat me right, go and find yourself a little little baby boy

I’m just tell you like it is

’Cause I‘m to good to you forget, don’t you mess over me...
