Let’s Straighten It Out

Everybody's got to straighten out somethings, sometime
I don't care how old you are or how young you are
But I want you to think about the last time
That you heard somebody say, "Let's straighten it out"

And I'll bet it was a man that said it, why?
Because most of the time it's a man
Who makes it crooked in the first place
You see, men have a tendency to take women for granted

But I believe, a woman feels things deeper than a man
And I believe, that a woman loves stronger than a man

Sit yourself down and talk to me
Tell me what's on your mind
Don't you keep on telling me everything's okay
'Cause if it was, you wouldn't be crying

You've been tossin' and turnin' in your sleep lately, babe
Sittin' around poutin' all day long
How in the hell do you expect me to understand?
When I don't even know, don't know what's wrong, yeah

Let's straighten it out
Ah baby, let's straighten it out
Honey, let's straighten it out
Ah, let's straighten it out

Let's straighten it out
Oh baby, let's straighten it out
Can't hear you honey, ah, let's straighten it out
C'mon, let's straighten it out

For the last five nights, honey
When we went to bed, I could tell something wasn't right
When you turned your back on me
And you covered your head, didn't even say goodnight

If you're tired and don't wanna be bothered, baby
Just say the words, I'll leave you alone
Instead of laying there, cryin' your eyes out
You and me ought to be gettin' along

Ah, let's straighten it out
Mmm, let's straighten it out
Let's straighten it out, baby
Ah, let's straighten it out

C'mon, let's straighten it out
Just say the words, I'll straighten it out
Instead of laying there, cryin' your eyes out
You and me ought to be gettin' along

Oh, let's straighten it out
Oh, baby, let's straighten it out
Hey, honey, let's straighten it out
Ahh, let's straighten it out

Let's straighten it out
Let's straighten it out
Let's straighten it out
Let's straighten it out
