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?

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, and you don't want 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
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?

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, and you don't want 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
