Lyrics

If you want something to play with Go and find yourself a toy Baby my time is so expensive, girl, yeah And I'm not just a little little betty baby boy, no no Otis, if you are serious Don't play with my heart, it makes me furious But if you want me to love you Baby, you know I will, honey, you know I will Tell it like it is, yeah Don't be ashamed to let your conscience be your guide Tell it like it is I want you to forget your foolish pride, oh yeah Life is too short to have sorrow (oh, yes it is) You may be here today and gone tomorrow You might as well get what you want So go on and live, Carla honey, baby, go on and live I'm just tell it like it is Just you can threat me right, go and find yourself a little little baby boy I'm just tell you like it is 'Cause I'm to good to you forget, don't you mess over me...
