Karaoké Let's Straighten It Out Latimore

Everybody's gotta straighten out somethin' sometimes

I don't care how old you are or how young you are

I don't care if you're married single divorced, engaged or shackin'

You gotta straighten out somethin' every now and then

But I want you to think about all of the times that you've heard somebody say

Let's straighten it out

Think about it and I guarantee you that most of the time it was a man who said it

Now the reason why

I say that is

Well let's face it

Most of the time it's a man who makes it crooked in the first place

Ah we don't mean no harm

That's just the way we are

Sometimes we do have a tendency to sort of take you for granted don't we

Always actin' like we don't understand some things

But I believe a woman feels things deeper than a man

I don't care what nobody says

I believe a woman loves stronger than a man

Cos you see sometimes we just don't seem to understand

I know because you see

I'm speakin' from experience

'Cos I came home one day and my woman was just goin' all around the house

Not havin' very much to say

And I was kinda puzzled

I didn't know what to do

So I looked her straight in the eye and I said

Sit yourself down girl and talk to me and tell me what's uh on your mind

Don't you keep on tellin' me everything's okay 'cos if it was then you wouldn't be cryin'

You been tossin' and turnin' in your sleep lately baby

Sittin' 'round poutin' all day long

Now how the hell you expect me to understand when I don't even know what's wrong

Let's straighten it out

Baby let's straighten it out

Honey let's straighten it out

Uh

Let's straighten 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

Oh you didn't even say goodnight

Now if you're tired and you don't wanna be bothered baby

Just say the word and I'll leave you alone

Instead of layin' there cryin' your eyes out baby

You and me ought to be gettin' it on

Let's straighten it out

Baby I said straighten it out

Honey let's straighten it out

I wanna straighten it out

I said straighten it out

Baby baby baby

Straighten it out

Ho ho ho

I wanna straighten it out

All night long baby

Let's straighten it out

Now how the hell you expect me to understand

Ooh when I don't even know what's wrong

Baby baby baby

Baby baby

Let's straighten it out

That's all I wanna do baby

Let's straighten it out
