B-52's Tell It Like It T-I-Is Lyrics

Doin' it right, day and night.
Doin' it right, day and night.
Doin' it right, day and night.
Yeah, tell it, tell it, tell it like it T-I-is.

I gotta feel it.
You gotta move it.
You gotta move it, move it, move it,
To the deep, deep rhythm.
Tell it, tell it, tell it like it T-I-is.

Seems like things are gettin' so bad,
That you can smell it.
Yeah, so open those eyes
And get the real picture,
It's time to tell it.

I wanna talk, baby.
I wanna say something.
I've got to tell it like it
T-IE-IE-IE-I is.

[Chorus]
Tell it, tell it, tell it, like it T-I-is.
Like it T-I-isTell it, tell it, tell it, like it T-I-is.
Like it T-I-is.
Tell it, tell it, tell it, like it T-I-is.
Like it T-I-is.
Tell it, tell it, tell it, like it T-I-is.
Like it T-I-is.
Whoahh!

Tell it, tell it.
I've got to tell it.
I want to tell it-whoo!
You got me talkin'.
I wanna say something.
Got me talkin'.
I wanna say somethin', yeah!

If you're looking for a moving sidewalk
Dreamin' 'bout a monorail to take you away.
Well, the day is now,
And here's the biz: You better get the real picture;
Tell it like it T-I-is.

I'm spinnin' to the rhythm of the earth,
And the ocean.
See the situation.
Oh what a sight.

I wanna talk, baby.
I wanna say something.
I've got to tell it like it is.
T-IE-IE-IE-is.
Like it T-I-is.

[Chorus]

Oh, don't upset
The balance of your nature.
Make the jump when the coast is clear
Oh, don't upset
The balance of your nature.
Reach the level above your fears.

Can you feel the movement?
Hear the untamed melody.
Tell it like it is and was and
Always should be-yeah!

Like it is and was, and always should be.
Is and was, and always should be.
Is and was, and always should be.
Is and was, and always should be.

Tell it, tell it.
I've got to tell.
I wanna tell it-whoo!
You got me talkin'.
I wanna say something'.
Got me talkin'.
I wanna say somethin'

Tell it, tell it, tell it, tell it.
Tell it, tell it, tell it, tell it.
Tell it, tell it, tell it, tell it.
Tell it, tell it, tell it, tell it.
Like it T-I-is
T-I-is!
