Gimme Some Straight Talk, Straight Talk -- and Hold the Sugar Please
Straight Talk, Straight Talk -- Sounds Plenty Sweet to Me
Don't Talk to Me in Circles in Some Mumbo-jumbo Jive
Gimme Just Straight Talk, Straight Talk and We're Gonna Be Alright
'cause I Like to Know Just Where I Stand, I Don't Like Guessing Games
And I Hate a Bunch of Gibberish, So Just Spit It Out Real Plain
Don't Use Big Educated Words From Your Bs Degree
Straight Talk, Straight Talk -- Don't Try B.s.-ing Me
Straight Talk, Straight Talk -- Turn Loose and Let It Go
You Can Tell Me Anything -- Just Like On Oprah's Show
Just Tell Me How You Really Feel, Be On the Up and Up
With Questions I Can Understand -- For Answers You Can Trust
Pick Up the 'phone, You're Not Alone -- We've All Got Something to Say
So Listen in and Listen Up -- We'll Find a Better Way
With Honesty and Common Sense, It's Really Hard to Miss
Straight Talk, Straight Talk -- Just Tellin' It Like It Is
Straight Talk, Straight Talk -- There's Nothing Like the Truth
Just Tell Me All Your Troubles -- Pretend I'm Donahue
So Don't Be Shy, 'cause We Can Talk -- You Know You've Got a Friend
Call Me, Call Me -- For Simple Straight Talkin'
What's Cookin', America?
Straight Talk, Straight Talk
Straight Talk, Straight Talk
So Some On Let's Talk Turkey, Just Straight and to the Point
About Passions, About Problems, About Noses Out of Joint
Now I Want You All to Know I Care and I Do Understand
And Hey, Thanks For Lending Me and Ear Out There in Radioland
Give Me Some Straight Talk, Straight Talk -- Don't Sugar Coat It Please
Straight Talk, Straight Talk -- Sounds Sweet Enough to Me
But Don't Talk to Me in Circles, in Your Mumbo-jumbo Jive
Straight Talk, Straight Talk -- and We're Gonna Be Alright
Straight Talk, Straight Talk -- Makes Plenty Sense to Me
Don't Talk to Me in Circles, in Your Mumbo-jumbo Jive
Gimme Just Straight Talk, Straight Talk -- and We're Gonna Be Alright
Gimme Just Straight Talk, Straight Talk -- and We're Gonna Be Alright
