Bobby Caldwell - Tell It Like It Is 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
Don't play with my heart, it makes me furious
But if 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 nothin' to play with, go and find yourself a toy
Honey my time is too expensive
So why don't you tell it like it is
Tell it to my heart
Don't you hold back baby
Now it's time to start
You've got to shoot it from the hip girl
You've got to tell it to me straight….
(Fade Out)

Liiiiinnnddaaaa demaaaiiiiisss
This version is far superior to Aaron Neville's. Bobby's voice is so clean & beautiful - amazing delivery. There, I said it !!
100% True
The lyrics say sad - but the music says Absolute Love! Tks the upload :)
Superb xo PJ
Wow. An absolutely beautiful rendition. I'm hooked and a new fan.
En 1997 Michael Lington (@LingtonSax) junto a Bobby Caldwell (@bobbycaldwell) llegaban a lo más alto de las listas de Jazz con esta versión de "Tell It Like It Is", que fue un éxito en 1966 con la voz de Aaron Neville (@aaronneville). Se trababa del debut en solitario de Lington, que presentaba este tema en su álbum homónimo "Michael Lington", el primero de los ocho que lleva publicados este saxofonista danés, nacido en Copenhague pero que lleva muchos años viviendo en USA. #SmoothJazzVocals #NowAndTHEN
This truly is a wonderful classic and a wonderful rendition by both you and Bobby. I have always been a fan of his, as well. Congratulations !!
