Tell It Like It Is lyrics

Hey la, um de hey oh la
Said, hey la, um de hey oh le
Hey, hey, hey, hey oh la
Said hey, oh hey, feelin' good today
One day as I was a havin' myself a party
You know a flyin' saucer landed right by my side
You know a big green man jumped out and boy you know he robbed me
You know he beat me for my bottle before I got high

I hittim' up knowing that I was dead

Earth angel, earth angel
Will you be mine ?
My darling dear, love you all the time
I'm just a fool, a fool in love with you

Earth angel, earth angel
The one I adore
Love you forever, and ever more
I'm just a fool, a fool in love with you

I fell for you and I knew
The vision of your love, loveliness
I hope and I pray that someday
I'll be the vision of your happy, happiness

This is my story, I have no song
Just alone and broken hearted
Just because I fell in love
In love with you

I pray that you'll come back to me
Just to hear you say you love me
And we'll never, ever part
Part from you

Dooba, da do , da do, da do
Dooba, dooba, dooba,
Dooba, da do, da do, da do
Dooba, dooba, dooba
Dooba, da do, da do, da do
Dooba, dooba ,dooba do

Thou shalt never love another
And stand by me all the while
Take happiness with the heartache
And go through love wearing a smile
Oh, how happy we will be if we keep the ten commandments of love
Oh love

Thou shalt always have faith in me
In everything I say and do
Love with all your heart and soul
Until our life on earth is through

For your precious love means more to me
Than any love could ever be
For when I wanted you I was so lonely and so blue
For that's what love will do

Darling, I'm so surprised,
Oh, when I first realized
That you were fooling me
Darling, they say that our love won't grow
I just want to tell them that they don't know
For as long as you, long as you are loving me

Forever my darling, our love will be true
Always and forever, I'll love only you
Just promise me darling, your love in return
May this fire in my soul dear forever burn

My hearts at your command dear, to keep love and to hold
Making you happy is my desire dear, keeping you is my goal
I'll forever love you for the rest of my days
I'll never part from you and your loving ways

Since you're gone with your guy
I feel as though I want cry
But a man ant supposed to shed a tear
If only you were here (you've gone away baby), if only you were here (you've gone away baby)

If only if you were here I'd lie for you, darling I'd die for you
Please say you're coming home

Since you've gone away
Been working hard while you're at play
Never thinking that you are untrue

You said he was just an old acquaintance that you knew a long time ago
I could tell when he held you in his arms, you seemed spellbound by his charms
No need to try, you can't deny, that look in your eyes spelled love, love, love, love
L O V E, L O V E, L O V E was all I saw, it was love, love, love, love
And I used to call you on the telephone

Too many, too many mornings, gotta wake up soon
Too many, too many mornings, whoa Lord gotta wake up soon
Oh and eat my breakfast by the light of the moon

It was late, very late last summer, when I first got my time
Whoa it was late, very very late last summer you know when I, I first got my time
My buddy got one hundred years, thank the Lord I just got ninety-nine

You think you're so smart
Yes, you think you know it all
But the game you're trying to play
Can be played another way
And you see that, you never never had it so good 'till you met me

I brought you to the city
Now you tell me, there's no room for pity
My friends tried to tell me so
I told them they didn't know
That lights have gone to your head

I play the game of the modern romeo but never in my life did I see
A woman as square as a pool table and twice as green
I gave you all of my money and all of my loving too
But now you're goin' around just a telling everybody that I made a fool of you
Girl I love you so, why I love you I just don't know
I ask the man from up above, help me to save your love
I want you

It was just imagination, the temptation that went to your head and now you are a victim of circumstance

You've beat me to the girl that I always wanted
You thought you had her brother but you still don't own her because I'm not through
And there's nothing you can do
You never had her
She took you for a ride

I know that it's a fact that you sneak behind my back

There's no need for you to worry about anything
Who can say what the future gonna bring
But if you worry about tomorrow
It will only bring you sorrow

Go out and have a good time
For this world is so fine
Go out and have a good time
This world is so fine
This world is so fine

Hold your head up high
Face the future with a smile
Things'll be better
It just takes a little while

There'll be some slow walkin'
Gonna be some sad talkin'
There'll be some flowers bringin'
Gonna be some sad singin'
Over you, I say over you
Over you, pretty baby
If I ever hear you say we're through

There'll be some long black limousines
People peepin' from their window screens
Parade of cars with their headlights on
All of that will be goin' on
Over you, I said over you

If you want something to play with
Go and find yourself a toy
Baby my time is too expensive
And I'm not a little boy

If you are serious
Don't play with my heart
It makes me furious
But if you want me to love you
Then a baby I will, girl you know that I will

Tell it like it is
Don't be ashamed to let your conscience be your guide
But I know deep down inside me

Every day along about noon 
Oh how I'm dreaming of the day that I'll be home soon 

And every day along about one 
Oh how I remember how we used to have fun 

And every day along about two 
Whoa how I'm so lonely in a world so blue 

And every day now along about three 
When I'm dreaming of a day that I'll be free 

And every day along about four 

Even though we're apart you're still right here in my heart 
Your hands are still in mine, I can still hear you whispering words divine 

I can feel your warm embrace, just the thought of it puts a smile upon my face 
But my imagination, whoa I said it's so strong, but reality keep assuring me I'm all alone 

But now from my lips comes a song, with tears in my eyes, 

Every time the telephone rings I hold my breath 
Hoping that it's you, I'm scared to death 
Phone went ring, my crippled heart cried 
Let it be you, on the line 
Then a voice say hello, can I speak to Joe? 
Wrong number, I'm sorry, good bye 

Pity the fool who loves you so 
If you found someone new, don't let me know 
The phone rang once again, my heart skipped a beat 

(Take 14: "Jesus H. Christ", 2 -3 - 4)

There's a new girl in my neighborhood
She's a sweet little thing, she looks real good
She gets everybody's attention around
They call her sweet little mama

All the boys wink when they see her
Even the girls smile when they meet her
Everybody's trying to be first
To hold sweet little mama

She got a certain secret in her smile

When you hold me close, honey, you're the most, baby, you set my soul on fire
Ever since I met you, honey I had to get you, you have been my one desire

How could I help but love you with a love so true, you send cold chills down my spine
If we would ever part, it wouldn't be your fault, yeah, it would be all mine

Train whistle blowin' around the bend
But I can hear it comin' in
That's the train my baby's on
But now she's gonna bring her home

Got a letter yesterday
This is what she had to say
Meet me at the station a quarter to ten
Let's try it over again

Waitin' at the station happy as can be, now
Waitin' at the station for my baby
My lonely nights are over from this day on

Get out of my life, leave me alone
Don't write me no letter, don't call me on the phone
Well, I'm trying to forget that I love you so
So let me down easy baby, just let me go

You played a game, I was a fool
When I see you with someone else, I just keep my cool
And now I'm trying to forget that I love you so
So let me down easy baby, just let me go

You can go, go , go
Cuz I know, know, know
I have found another love to take your place

Down down down came the tears
Since you went away and left me here
But up, up, up went my love, love, love
I have found another love to take your place

Fast, fast, fast went the train
That took you to the arms of another man
But you can go, go, go
Cuz I know, know, know

How many times must I say I love you
How many times must I say I love you, love you
You treat me so cold honey
You opened my nose, honey
And then you laughed, uh huh, uh huh
You made me feel bad, uh huh, uh huh
You made me cry honey
I wanted to die

How many times must I say I'm sorry
How many times must I say I'm sorry, sorry
You treat me so cold honey

Why torture yourself, when you know you're in love
Throw your pride in the ocean and be happy beneath the stars above
Confess your feelings to the one's you love
And let's live, before it's too late
Let's live

Why deprive yourself, of the wonders of life
Time is getting shorter, there's no reason for those lonely nights
If you don't, if you don't love me, you'll miss the boat
