Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Misty mornin', don't see no sun
I know you're out there somewhere having fun, yeah
There is one mystery, yeah
I just can't express
To give your more, to receive your less
[Verse 2]
One of my good friends said, in a reggae riddim
"Don't jump in the water, if you can't swim"
The power of philosophy, yeah, floats through my head
Light like a feather, heavy as lead
Light like a feather, heavy as lead, yeah
[Chorus]
See no sun, oh
Time has come, I want you
I want you to straighten out my tomorrow, uh
I want, I want, I want you, oh (I want you to straighten out my tomorrow)
I want you to straighten out my tomorrow
[Verse 3]
Misty mornin', don't see no sun (Morning)
I know you're out there somewhere having fun
Mysteries, I just can't express
How can you ever give your more to receive your less?
Like my good friend said, in a reggae riddim
Can't jump, you can't jump in the water, if you can't swim
[Chorus]
I want you, I want you to straighten out my today (I want you to straighten out my tomorrow)
My tomorrow, my, my, my, my, my (I want you to straighten out my tomorrow)
On a misty morning, uh (I want you to straighten out my tomorrow)
Straighten out my tomorrow, my tomorrow
Need some straightenin' out (I want you to straighten out my tomorrow)
Mist, mist (I want you to straighten out my tomorrow)
