Talk Straight

Talk straight; talk straight
So I can relate.
Don't insinuate,
Please don't mumble.

Let's save some time;
Just say what's on your mind.
I will help you out if you stumble.
But, baby, talk straight.

Talk straight....

Yeah, you're scared to lose control,
To take a step that you might regret.
But if you never choose
Baby, you'll lose the prize you idealize,
So talk straight.

Talk straight.

You may lose some friends,
But, baby, in the end
It's better to defend than to cower.

And as for me,
If you cut me, I will bleed.
But I've come to believe
That the truth has a healing power.

Baby, if you only talk straight.
Talk straight.
Just talk straight, straight, straight ,straight.
Talk straight.
