Lyrics
TELL IT LIKE IT IS
© 2006 Juan M. Albarran
It’s a very good thing I found work at a factory
I’d never get hired at Congress, Fox or ABC
And they wouldn’t want me at a law firm or the National Enquirer
I just don’t have the skills that all those jobs require
CHORUS
I tell it like it is
I don’t sugar-coat the truth
I tell it like it is
When it’s sweet and when it’s sour too
Those who don’t wanna hear it
Well, they know what they can kiss
Yeah, I tell it, I tell it like it is
It’s the way I am, it’s the way that I was raised
It’s the way I’ll be ‘til they lay me in my grave
Boy, it’s gotten me in trouble and in more than one bar fight
But I sleep like a baby every single night (‘cuz)
CHORUS (x2)
I tell it like it is
I don’t sugar-coat the truth
I tell it like it is
When it’s sweet and when it’s sour too
Those who don’t wanna hear it
Well, they know what they can kiss
Yeah, I tell it, I tell it like it is
TAG
I tell it like it is
