Tell It Like It Is
Billy Joe Royal

Ooh yeah, ooh yeah

You got me cornered, there's no getting out alive

So wait a minute, woman, I need to switch out that light

We're a bad match, babe, you never know what's good for you

There's somethin' not right, I'm gonna tell you what to do

For 24 hours, you been comin' on so strong

Baby, I'm gettin' nervous, and pretty soon I'm gonna prove you wrong

I've gotta tell it like it is - I know it's down to me

Can't go on like this - our love is history

I'm gonna burn this bridge - you just wait and see

Tell it like it is - uh huh, hey

Face to face, a day I will never forget

Well I was beggin' for your love, you said you're not ready yet

Hey we've come a long way, babe, there's nothin', nothin' I won't do

And well I warn you tonight, my love is hot, I'm comin' for you

For 24 hours, you've been puttin' me on

Maybe I'm gettin' nervous, and pretty soon I'm gonna prove you wrong

I've gotta tell it like it is - I know it's down to me

Can't go on like this - our love is history

I'm gonna burn this bridge - just you wait and see


I'm gonna tell it like it is - uh huh, hey

(solo)

For 24 hours, you been comin' on so strong

Maybe I'm nervous, pretty soon I'm gonna prove you wrong

I'm gonna tell it like it is - I know it's down to me

I can't go on like this - watch your step, it's history

Gonna burn this bridge - you just wait and see

Tell it like it is - yeah uh huh

Tell it like it is - wait and see

Can't go on like this - our love is history

I'm gonna burn this bridge - I'm gonna burn you down

I'm gonna tell it like it is - I'm waitin', I'm waitin'

Tell it - tell it - tell it - tell it - tell it - tell it - tell it like it is

No, you know it's still down to me

I said tell it - tell it - tell it - tell it - tell it - tell it like it is

You're history

You've gotta tell it, tell it, tell it!
