Sit yourself down, girl, and talk to me
Tell me what's uh on your mind
Don't keep on tellin me everythings 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?

Lets straighten it out
Lets straighten it out
Lets straighten it out, baby,
Lets 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

Lets straighten it out

Lets straight it out, baby, lets 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
