Tell It Like It Was

Tell It Like It Was - Bill Anderson

I come home every night and she meets me

With a great big kiss

And she says I love you and how was your day

She brings me my slippers cooks my dinner and holds my hand

And vows her love for me won't ever fade away

Tell it like it was

Tell it like it was

Not like it is 'cause it ain't no more

Tell it like it was

I told her once I was born with a restless streak

In me

But she laughed it off and said honey you're just a man

Go where you have to go

Do what you have to do

I love you I'll wait for you and I'll understand

Tell it like it was

Tell it like it was

Not like it is 'cause it ain't no more

Tell it like it was

I called her up last night from down in mexico

She said baby it's cold tonight and I'm alone

I'm not gonna hold anybody

I'm not gonna kiss anybody

I'm saving me for you

'Till you get home

Tell it like it was

Tell it like it was

Not like it is 'cause it ain't no more

Tell it like it was

Yeah tell it like it was

Tell it like it was

Not like it is 'cause it ain't no more

Tell it like it was
