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
