They say that I'm the kind of man who always speaks his mind

To me there's nothing stronger than the truth

You can ask me almost anything and I'll tell you like it is

But darling when they ask me about you



I tell it like it used to be when you were still in love with me

Before you got to used to me and wanted someone new

I tell it like it ought to be 'cause how it is, is killing me

When they ask about you and me, I tell it like it used to be



I wish that I was stronger, I could tell them that you've gone

But that's one thing that I may never do

If they want to hear about our love and how it all went wrong

Then darling they will just have to talk to you



I tell it like it used to be when you were still in love with me

Before you got to used to me and wanted someone new

I tell it like it ought to be 'cause how it is, is killing me

When they ask about you and me, I tell it like it used to be



I tell it like it used to be when you were still in love with me

Before you got to used to me and wanted someone new

I tell it like it ought to be 'cause how it is, is killing me

When they ask about you and me, I tell it like it used to be
