Got to say it, yeah, got to tell it, mmm,
got to say it baby, yeah
There's been so many times when I
wanted your lovin' arms around
There's been so many times when I
wanted your lips touchin' mine, yeah
Well I might as well admit it,
need your lovin', just can't quit it
Got to say, got to tell it like it is
That's been so many times
When I woke up crying your name
That's been so many times
When I dream, I feel the same
Got to leave my pride behind
Say what's on my mind
Got to say, got to tell it like it is
Now you're standing there
With your long, pretty hair
Just watch it with your big brown eyes
You're looking good,
swaying from side to side
Got to tell it, yeah
I want to say it, baby
And I got to say it
Want to tell it like it is
Well, I might as well admit it
If you love it, can't quit it
Got to tell it, tell it like it is
You may belong to someone else
But I confess that baby,
I just won't conform
I said, I've got to tell the world
I've got to say it, yeah
I've got to tell the world about it
I've got to tell it
I've got to say what's on my mind
Leave my mind behind
I've got to tell it, tell it like it is
I've got to say it
I want to tell it
I've got to tell the world about it
I want to tell it like it is
I want to leave my pride behind
I've got to say what's on my mind
Tell it like it is
I want to say it
I want to tell it
I just can't keep it to myself,
I got to tell it like it is
I want to say what's on my mind
and leave my pride behind
I want to tell it all, tell it like it is
