Had You Told It Like It Was (It Wouldn’t Be Like It Is)

Lyrics

( (Oh no, not like it is) ) ( (Oh no, not like it is) ) When I spoke to you, I said how do you do It didn't mean I wanted to marry you You told your friends, this was a real thing Now they askin' to see the wedding ring Had you told it like it was (yeah, yeah) Had you told it like it was (yeah, yeah) Had you told it like was, it wouldn't be like it is (Oh no, not like it is) (Oh no, not like it is) (Oh no, not like it is) My telephone rang today about noon It was your mother asking about a wedding in June But when I finished talking she was mad as could be Cause I told her to forget it, she'd never boss me Had you told it like it was (yeah, yeah) Had you told it like it was (yeah, yeah) Had you told it like was, it wouldn't be like it is (Oh no, not like it is) You sure took me for granted And that isn't right at all I hope you understand now Your up isn't kind before It's much too late, to start talking too fast Cause you know, your dream was in the past It's all over now, and it's plain to see I ain't got you, you ain't got me (Chorus) Had you told it like it was (yeah, yeah) Had you told it like it was (yeah, yeah) Had you told it like was, it wouldn't be like it is (Oh no, not like it is) You sure took me for granted And that isn't right at all I hope you understand now Your up isn't kind before It's much too late, to start talking too fast Cause you know, your dream was in the past It's all over now, and it's plain to see I ain't got you, you ain't got me Had you told it like it was (yeah, yeah) Had you told it like it was (yeah, yeah) Had you told it like was, it wouldn't be like it is
