I Tell It Like It Used to Be lyrics

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

To me there's nothing stronger than the truth

They can ask me almost anything and I'll tell it 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 too 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 were stronger I could tell them that you're 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 too 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
