Let's Straighten It Out

Sit yourself down, girl, and talk to me

Tell me what's on your mind

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

'Cause if it was, then you wouldn't be cryin'

You been tossin' and turnin' in yo' sleep lately

Sittin' round, poutin' all day long

Now, how in the hell do you expect me to understand

When I don't even know what's wrong

Let's straighten it out

Let's straighten it out

Let's straighten it out

Baby, let's straighten it out

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

Oh, I could tell something just wasn't right

When you turned your back to me and you covered your head

But you didn't even say goodnight

If you're tired, you don't want to be bothered, baby

Just say the word and I'll leave you alone

Instead of layin' out, cryin' your eyes out, baby

You and me oughta be gettin' it on

Let's straighten it out

Let's straighten it out

Let's straighten it out

Let's straighten it out

Oh, let's straighten it out

Baby, let's straighten it out

Why don't you talk to me, honey, straighten it out?

Mmm, yeah, let's straighten it out

How in the hell you expect me to understand

Oh, when I don't even know what's wrong?

Baby, baby, baby, let's straighten it out

I believe we gon' straighten it out
