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

No no not like it is

When I spoke to you saying how do you do
It didn't mean I wanted to marry you
You told your friends this was a real thing
Now they're asking to see the wedding ring
Had you told them like it was yeah yeah
Had you told them like it was yeah yeah
Had you told them like it was
It woudn't be like it is
No no not like it is

My telephone ring the day that I knew
It was your mother askin' about our wedding in June
But when I finish talking she was mad as could be
Because I told her to forget it she'd never fall asleep
Had you told them like it was yeah yeah
Had you told them like it was yeah yeah
Had you told them like it was
It woudn't be like it is

You should took me for granted
And that isn't right at all I hope you understand now
You understand before
There's much to make
This guy talking to fail 'cause you know
Your dream was in the past slow now
And it's plain to see I ain't got you
You ain't got me
Had you told them like it was yeah yeah
