Lyrics
Now, if you want something to play with, go 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 for sorrow
You may be here today and gone tomorrow
You might as well 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 (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Tell it like it is (Like it is, ooh)
