Sit yourself down, girl, and talk to me;
Tell me what's uh on your mind
Don't keep on tellin' me everything's OK,
"?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 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 straight it out

For the last five nights, honey, when we went to bed,
Oh, I could tell somethin' just wasn't right
When you turned your back to me and you covered your head,
Then you didn't even say goodnight
Now if you tired, "?n' you don't wan' be bothered baby,
Just say the word and I'll leave you "?lone
Instead of layin' out cryin' yo' eyes out, baby,
You and me oughta be getting' it on

Let's straighten it out"¦

Let's straight it out, baby, let's straighten it out
Why don't you talk to me honey?
How in the hell do you expect me to understand,
When I don't even know what's wrong?
I believe we gon' straighten it out
