Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't get me mad, don't tell no lie
Don't make me sad, don't pass me by (By)
Baby, are you holdin', holdin' anything but me?
'Cause I'm a real straight shooter, if you know what I mean
[Verse 2]
You can bring me love, you can hang around
You can bring me up, don't you bring me down (Down)
Baby, are you holdin', holdin' anything but me?
'Cause I'm a real straight shooter, if you know what I mean
[Verse 3]
I've been searchin' all night
Just to find what I'm lookin' for
Baby, baby, treat me right
Or I won't come 'round your door
No more
[Verse 4]
You can bring me love, you can hang around
You can bring me up, don't you bring me down (Down)
Baby, are you holdin', holdin' anything but me?
'Cause I'm a real straight shooter, if you know what I mean
[Verse 5]
I've been searchin' all night
Just to find what I'm lookin' for (Lookin' for) (Lookin' for)
Baby, baby, treat me right
Or I won't come 'round your door
No more
[Verse 6]
Don't get me mad, don't tell no lie
Don't get me sad, just get me high (High)
Baby, what you're holdin', half of that belongs to me
'Cause I'm a real straight shooter (Baby, don't you get me mad)
I'm a real straight shooter (I've been searchin' all night long)
I'm a real straight shooter, baby, if you know what I mean
If you know what I mean, ooh
