let's straighten it out

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
