I sent this song to a chick, i was digging but wasnt sure if she was into me, this song said what exactly what i wanted to say, and now we are together.
I remember I heard this song 14yrs ago I think I was 12 to 13yrs old at that time. I had a clock radio and I would leave the radio on in my room all day all night. It was some oldies station I loved these songs and still do to this day I Just heard this song on tv moments ago and That's why I'm here. This is a real good song I enjoy listening to it
@@anakarenquiroa1215 I live in Maryland the station I heard it on was DC station oldies 100.3 even now when I hear this song still takes me back in my head to the first time I really started to enjoy these songs and many other among it ☺️
My dad is getting up there. He is 82 and stuck in bed cause he can no longer walk. 🥺 I go visit him and just yesterday I was playing this song for him. We were singing it together. I love dad!!! With all my heart.
Yes, slow dancing, "belly rub", "Texas Roll", "polish your belt buckle", pretty soon the baby boomers will be gone and days (nites?) like these will be gone like the Glen Miller era.
Ever noticed how many of the old songs are used in tv commercials and shows now? That's because they are Gold. Today's song's don't grab people's attention. Think about it. So an entire group of youth are being introduced to 60s, 70s, and 80's music, that is, IF they never heard from their Parents.
The sign of a true artist...when someone can RIP your heart & soul out with gorgeous haunting melodies and not talk about murder, rape and swear...THERE is a singer, a craftsman of the heart. We could use so much more music like this today. I do not understand how anyone can be romantic or or in love with what they call music today. Songs like this are classic and timeless.
I haven’t stopped listening to Aaron Neville or Billy Stewart or Temptations or Four Tops or Smokey or a hundred more since being in high school and so happy my 34 year old son loves all this music!! Not all Rap for which I am grateful! I KNOW I grew up with all the greatest and that includes Aretha n Patti n Gladys and too many to name....way past my bedtime but I love that so many still listen to these greats
Was hanging washing & heard it faintly in the distance & instantly came to look for it on TH-cam as it's been such a long time i've heard & boy does it still do the things in 2022!! Over a decade later! When music could still touch your soul.
Thursday night, Tottenham Royal 1969 I was aged 13 (tisk tisk a school night as well!!) this was the tune that had been out a few years, but was played by the DJ, just as we all started walking out of THE Mecca ballroom hearing . . . then stood and swayed to or got a guy to dance with . . What a wonderful tune, singer and lyrics. I’ve ALWAYS love love loved it. . . and what wonderful memories of a wonderful place to have been in ❤
This was my very first song I loved and learned to sing. I was around 12 years old . Almost 60 years ago now. I still love❤ this song and can still sing it.
This is the first time I have listened to this song in years, but I remember perfectly the 'when, where, and how' I heard it for the first time! And it still gets me just as it did so many years ago! love it :)
I listened to this song when I was little, and I hadn’t heard it in a long time. Until I it came on in the ending of an episode of Grace and Frankie. 😁

Try slow dancing to this one with that one and only TRUE LOVE of your life. You will never duplicate that feeling again. We all have ghosts of the past. This song can make me remember that ghost, never mind not wanting to remember.
Honesty in presence... If one cannot decipher bad from good in one's own actions & behaviors, how does one cry by self-proclaimation one is being abused? Love conquers all, diversity in perception, disguises left behind. Now, approach with honesty & grace... Much love, always. Sighting? Yesterday? Undisguised & undeniable...
If you want something to play with Go and find yourself a toy Baby my time is too expensive And I'm not a little boy If you are serious Don't play with my heart It makes me furious But if you want me to love you Then a baby I will, girl you know that I will Tell it like it is Don't be ashamed to let your conscience be your guide But I know deep down inside me I believe you love me, forget your foolish pride Life is too short to have sorrow You may be here today and gone tomorrow You might as well get what you want So go on and live, baby go on and live Tell it like it is I'm nothing to play with Go and find yourself a toy But I... Tell it like it is My time is too expensive and I'm not your little boy

No one can sing this song like Aaron Neville. He has such a soulful voice that you can feel the pain in his heart when he sings it.
I remember my dad singing this song to my mom and dancing in our livingroom and they are still married till this day 47 years
being young (13) And listening to amazing music like this... Who Loves this music?!
I remember I heard this song 14yrs ago I think I was 12 to 13yrs old at that time. I had a clock radio and I would leave the radio on in my room all day all night. It was some oldies station I loved these songs and still do to this day I Just heard this song on tv moments ago and That's why I'm here. This is a real good song I enjoy listening to it

My dad is getting up there. He is 82 and stuck in bed cause he can no longer walk. 🥺
I go visit him and just yesterday I was playing this song for him. We were singing it together. I love dad!!! With all my heart.
a masterpiece of 2 part piano, the bass line the simple guitar stroke. so much space but of course the angelic vocal fills it all in!
Lenny Perez It was all of the above that made this beautiful song a classic, I couldn't agree w/ you more.
Perfect song for a lovely slow dance with a lover!!
I totally agree. It brings back those slow dancing memories from the past when I was a teenager.
Yes, slow dancing, "belly rub", "Texas Roll", "polish your belt buckle", pretty soon the baby boomers will be gone and days (nites?) like these will be gone like the Glen Miller era.
Haven't heard this in ages. Very good song from 1966.
"if u want somethin to play with go find urself a toy" love this part my jam
stephanyalvarez20 right
"A lot of people come up to me and say, 'That song got me and my wife together,'" And others say, 'It broke me and my wife up.'" -A Neville
Everyone's story is different
Neverless, this song speaks the truth about the relationships.
This song tells it like it is that's why I've loved it ever since I was a child
Ever noticed how many of the old songs are used in tv commercials and shows now? That's because they are Gold. Today's song's don't grab people's attention. Think about it. So an entire group of youth are being introduced to 60s, 70s, and 80's music, that is, IF they never heard from their Parents.

Listening to this song, I get the chills the way he sings it you can feel it in his voice. It makes me feel sane again. how does he doo it?
The sign of a true artist...when someone can RIP your heart & soul out with gorgeous haunting melodies and not talk about murder, rape and swear...THERE is a singer, a craftsman of the heart. We could use so much more music like this today. I do not understand how anyone can be romantic or or in love with what they call music today. Songs like this are classic and timeless.

Now, approach with honesty & grace...
Much love, always.
Sighting? Yesterday? Undisguised & undeniable...
Explains my situation but I liked this song even before. Good old music
One of the greatest. Love this song. 🎵 🎶 ❤
Beautiful song, timeless.
Masterpiece 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Beautiful
If you want something to play with
Go and find yourself a toy
Baby my time is too expensive
And I'm not a little boy
If you are serious
Don't play with my heart
It makes me furious
But if you want me to love you
Then a baby I will, girl you know that I will
Tell it like it is
Don't be ashamed to let your conscience be your guide
But I know deep down inside me
I believe you love me, forget your foolish pride
Life is too short to have sorrow
You may be here today and gone tomorrow
You might as well get what you want
So go on and live, baby go on and live
Tell it like it is
I'm nothing to play with
Go and find yourself a toy
But I... Tell it like it is
My time is too expensive and I'm not your little boy
The song is the lyrics so you kinda of copyed it😑
The video is literally the lyrics💀
The perfect spelling..🙏
