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 and I'll wait for you and I'll understand
|
Tell it like it was...
|
[ steel ]
|
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...
|
Yeah tell it like it was tell it like it was...
