Lyrics
Straight shooter
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don't get him mad, don't tell no lies.
Don't make him sad and don't pass me by
Baby are you holding, holding anything but me?
Cause I'm a real straight shooter if you know what I mean
You can bring me love, you can hang around.
You can bring me up, don't you bring me down
Baby are you holding, holding anything but me?
Cause I'm a real straight shooter if you know what I mean
I've been searching all night just to find what I'm looking for
Baby, Baby, treat me right or I won't come 'round your door,
no more
You can bring me love, you can hang around.
You can bring me up, don't you bring me down
Baby are you holding, holding anything but me?
Cause I'm a real straight shooter if you know what I mean
I've been searching all night just to find what I'm looking for
Baby, Baby, treat me right or I won't come 'round your door,
no more
Don't get him mad, don't tell no lie.
Don't make me sad, just get me high
Baby what you're holding, that belongs to me
Cause I'm a real straight shooter, I'm a real straight shooter
I'm a real straight shooter, if you know what I mean
If you know what I mean!
