Lyrics Tell It Like It Is - Nina Simone

Now if you want something to play with, go out and find yourself a toy,

Cause little boy my time is too expensive and I′m not a little boy

So if you are serious, don't play with my heart, it makes me furious

But if you want me to love you, you know I will, you know I will

Tell it like it is.

Don′t be ashamed, let your conscience be your guide

I know deep down inside of me I believe you love me

So forget your foolish pride, life is too short to have sorrow

You may be here today and gone tomorrow

You might aswell get what you want

So go on and please

(Tell it like it is)

I'm nothing to play with, go and find yourself a toy

Tell it like it is

Like it is
