Let's Straighten It Out

Sit yourself down, girl, and talk to me

Tell me what's on your mind

Don't keep on tellin' me everything's okay

'Cause if you were, then you wouldn't be crying

You've been tossin' and turnin' in your sleep lately

Sittin' around, poutin' all day long

How in the world do you expect for me to understand, baby

When I don't even know what's wrong?

Let's straighten it out, baby

Let's straighten it out, baby, baby

Let's straighten it out

We can always straighten it out

For the last five nights, honey, when we went to bed

Whoa, I could tell something just wasn't right

When you turned you back to me and covered your head

Oh, you didn't even say goodnight

Now, if you're tired, and don't wanna be bothered, baby

Say the word, and I'll leave you alone

Instead of lyin' there cryin' your eyes out, honey

You and me oughta be gettin' it on

Let's straighten it out, baby

Let's straighten it out

We can always straighten it out

You know we can straighten it out

How in the world do you expect for me to understand you, baby

When I don't even know what's wrong?

But I believe we can straighten it out

Come here and lay in my arms, and let me straighten it out

Talk to me, whisper to me, straighten it out, baby

Oh, let's straighten it out
