Song Lyrics

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, baby, I will, honey, I will
You know that I will tell it like it is

Don't be ashamed let your
Conscience be your guide
But I know deep, down inside of me
I believe that you love me
Forget your foolish pride

Life is too short to have sorrow
You may be here today and gone tomorrow
You might as well get what you want
So go on and live, baby, go on and live, tell it like it is

Tell it like it is
I'm nothing to play with
Go and find yourself a toy
Honey, my time is too expensive

So, won't you tell it like it is?
Tell it to my heart
Don't you hold back, baby
Nice time to start

You've got to shoot it
From the hip, dear
You've got to tell it to me straight

George Davis, Lee Diamond
