Before I say goodbye, before I tell you I should go
If you want me baby, gonna have to let me know
Cause I can't read your mind

You gotta play the part and invite me to the show
Rehearsing how it starts with poetry and prose
Cause I can't read between the lines

Tell me what that means
Seal it with a kiss
And tell it like it is
Tell it like it is
Honey, I insist
You gotta tell it like it is
If ya keep it to yourself, I'm sure I'll never see
I won't know how you felt if you alter destiny
And I will become blind

Blind to all the love and all it might have been
Don't hide it in your heart where it's dark and locked in
Oh, why not shed some light

Tell me what that means
Seal it with a kiss
And tell it like it is(Tell it like it is)
Tell it like it is(Tell it like it is)
Honey, I insist
You gotta tell it like it is
Baby's gotta, baby's gotta, baby's gotta take it from me

You gotta break the chain in the game
Let your love fly free
Let your love fly free
And tell it like it is(Tell it like it is)
And tell it like it is(Tell it like it is)
Honey, I insist
Tell it like is

Tell it
Tell it
Tell it like it is
Tell it Ooh, tell it
Tell it like it is
