Sit yourself down, girl And talk to me Tell me what's on your mind Don't keep saying Everything's ok, baby
'Cause if it was, girl You wouldn't be crying
You've been tossing and turning In your sleep lately, baby Sitting around crying all day long Now how in hell do you expect me To understand, baby When I don't even know what's wrong
Let's straighten it out Let's straighten it out Let's straighten it out Let's straighten it out, baby
Well the last five nights When we went to bed Oh I could tell something wasn't right When you turned your back And you covered your head, baby You didn't even say good-night
Now if you're tired And you don't wanna be bothered, baby Just say the word And I'll leave you alone Instead of lying there Crying your eyes out You and me oughta be getting it on
Let's straighten it out Let's straighten it out, baby Let's straighten it out Let's straighten it out Please let's straighten it out, baby Let's straighten it out Let's straighten it out Let's straighten it out now, baby
