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, invite me to the show Rehearsing how it starts with poetry and prose 'Cause I can't read between the lines Tell me what I've missed Seal it with the kiss And tell it like it is, tell it like it is Honey I insist You gotta tell it like it is If you 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 that might have been Don't hide it in your heart where it's dark and locked in Oh I might shed some light Tell me what I've missed Seal it with the kiss And 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, and again Let your love fly free, yeah Let your love fly free And tell it like it is Tell like it is Honey I insist Tell it like it is Tell it, tell it, tell it like it is Tell it, Oh, tell it, tell it like it is
