Heart - Tell It Like It Is Lyrics






If you want something to play with
Go and find yourself a toy
Cause baby, baby, my time is much too expensive
And I don't want no little boy

But if you, if you are serious
Don't go playing with my heart, it makes me furious
And if want me to love you
Ooo baby, I will, ooo yeah I will

Tell it like it is
Oh yeah, just let your conscience be your guide
You know, deep down inside
I believe you love me, just forget your foolish pride

I think life's too short for all this sorrow
We might be here today and gone tomorrow
I might as well just get what I want
I wanna live, I wanna live

Tell it like it is
Don't be ashamed now let your conscience be your guide
Ooo yeah deep down inside
I believe you love me, just forget your foolish pride
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh

    Pure class.Not many bands can do a cover and make it better than the original work. Ann wIlson was truly outstanding back in the 80s-90s.imo

    Wow...and I believe in one of Ann's interview, this was the year she started getting sh*t for her weight.

  11. J.... K....

    Such a gem from this magnificent band!Even the video is done tastefully, unlike sooo many of the videos from that time period that were total cheese and just plain bad.

  12. C.... C....

  17. J.... W....

    Have to say, great video, but this version chops off what I think is the best bit, where Ann completely goes for it! You can hear this on the album version of the song, here: https://youtu.be/mqSEo4ArAVw - enjoy! Such. Wonderful uplifting song; turn it up and play it again (and again :))

  18. D.... B....

    W.... W....

    Nancy...

  33. j.... m....

    brillante

  34. d.... ....

    My mom does a better cover. She is wonderful though.

  35. B.... k....

    Very bluesy and mainstream- give the Wilson sisters credit for such a bluesy version of Tell It Like It Is!!!

  36. J.... C....

    Tell it like is oh yeah😎👩‍🎤👩‍🎤👨‍🎤

  37. C.... S....

    I will. And it will be the Gods truth. Unlike the snakes 🐍 slithering about.
    Are you sure you want to push someone in DESTROYING YOUR SO CALLED STELLAR REPUTATION? We’ll see about that.

  38. G.... J....

    Definitely did the original justice.

  39. J.... C....

    ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

  40. A.... S....

    AMO A LAS HERMANAS!

  41. A.... S....

    LAS AMO

  42. C.... M....

    Holy smoke stacks. Sizzzzzzling.

  43. l.... t....

    ANN WILSON QUE HERMOSA MUJER!!! WOW!!!!🌹💖💖

  44. s.... ....

    My mom loved this song.

  45. T.... M....

    Beautiful performance.

  46. S.... B....

    Nancy could have danced with anyone she wished but chose a Rickenbaker Capri. Very sweet, very appropriate, two beautiful music makers. What a lucky Rick.

  47. m.... ....

    AMAZINGGGGG

  48. W.... M....

    Tell it like it is.....No one can hold a candle to Ann Wilson's voice.....

  49. A.... M....

    Nancy slow dancing with her guitar 🥰🥰🥰

  50. l.... l....

    You can't really compare the original (by Aaron Neville) to this great cover. They are done so differently. The original is great too.

  51. a.... ....

    look at Ann grab her sister at 1:57.

    a.... ....

    Yes, that was a nice touch. Some solidarity there. I ❤ ❤! Ann, still 'sends' me.

  52. R.... S....

    Ann Wilson sings that song just as if she is telling like it is. She has the voice of a Arch Angel who delivers the goods. She truly does want to live. "Tell it like it is* Ann

  53. R.... ....

    ...MAN! Ann is THAT BITCH! ....and, I say that with LOVE! ; ) ...look at her body language at 1:31; she is mustering up ALL those feelings!! and, dig the grab at Nancy at 1:56; ...LUV that she's pulling a 'Stevie / Lindsey' thing, conveying her personal turmoil to her sister thru music! YIKES!

    ALSO, I have a feeling they did this cover, by way of influence, of Linda Ronsadt's Spring '80 cover of "Hurt So Bad"...even the arrangements are similar! BUT, the video IS hokey, but, hey, the 80's.... OH! and I, a black guy, thought Ann was THE coolest white chick in rock, because she went and got Donna Summer's hairstyle!! ha-HAA! I'm a MESS!! 😆

  54. M.... #....

    This song was so epic!

  55. S.... L....

  57. T.... C....

    I have ALWAYS had a girl crush on her....especially when I got to meet them in person. They’re both still beautiful ladies. 😍😍😍

  58. i.... a....

    Such a sad period for rocknroll and like so many rocknrollers heart struggled for material that mtv would get behind . This is a great cover but its not who heart was .... is
    But as yall have stated, that voice, damn❤

  59. F.... M....

    A group of us went to see Heart at MSA in Indy on 7/19/1980...my sister Allyson was in an auto accident later that night and didn't survive. This song came out later that year and I first heard it when I was visiting friends in Jax FL...it's special to me. Allyson would have loved it!

  78. N.... l....

    I love HEART. And yes Ann Wilson's voice is amazing ! The band is amazing
    I've owned nearly all of their CD's and seen them live. However, this is the least favorite of all of the songs I've heard from Heart. I honestly like Aaron Neville's version way better.
    That's just my opinion.

  79. E.... M....

    sweet timeless voice

  80. t.... r....

    had to play it again with my acoustic guitar , what a band, what a song, Ms Ann nailed it omg, and Ms Nancy on fire, what Heart & Soul they have, Amazing !

  81. t.... r....

    Just kill me, what a performance! , they are heavenly sweet :* , Uuhhh, slay me hehe ;)

  82. 4.... E....

    Tell It Like It Is
    This song Rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  83. D.... L....

    I love her powerful, beautiful voice!!! Sister playing the guitar, what talent!!! I really need to listen to a good Heart song or songs daily!!!!

  84. J.... C....

    Rock version of this song is 🔥

  85. R.... O....

    Just another awesome cover that blows away the original Ann can 🎸 rock the house down wheeeew

  86. F.... 6....

    I think life's too short for all the sorrow
    What's here today
    Gone tomorrow
    I might as well just get what I want

  87. W.... T....

    I love it when she put her hand on nancy shoulder when she says " i wanna live i wanna live"

  88. O.... T....
