Sit yourself down, girl and talk to me
Tell me what`s on your mind
Don`t keep on tellin` me everything`s okay
`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
