Lyrics
Straight Talk
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.
You say you're well and satisfied,
But your body tells me something else.
What is it, baby? tell me, tell me,
Speak up, give it to me straight
Or we'll never know what you think or what you want.
She says she's truly gratified,
But her voice tells me something else.
What is it, baby? tell me, tell me,
Speak up, give it to me straight
Or we'll never know how you feel or what you want.
Unless we teach each other what we really feel,
How are we gonna communicate and get ourselves together?
He says he's never petrified,
But his eyes tells me something else.
What is it, baby? tell me, tell me,
Speak up, give it to me straight
Or we'll never know what you need or what you want.
Unless we teach each other what we really feel,
How are we gonna communicate and get ourselves together?
I'm watching your body talk,
I'm listening to your double talk.
Straight talk's the only way,
Straight talk's the shortest way
For you and i.
I'm watching your body talk,
I'm listening to your double talk.
Straight talk's the only way,
Straight talk's the shortest way
Then the world is one.
(straight talk's the only way)
(straight talk's the shortest way)
(straight talk's the only way)
(straight talk's the shortest way)
(straight talk's the only way)
(straight talk's the shortest way)
(straight talk's the only way)
(straight talk's the shortest way)
(straight talk's the only way)
(straight talk's the shortest way)
(straight talk's the only way)
(straight talk's the shortest way)
