Straighten Up

Hey, hey, hey

Everybody asking, asking, asking me

Why I'm not dying in a misery

'Cause my baby told me if I straighten up and do right

That he'll love me, just me, for the rest of my life

You know I'm straightenin' up

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know I must straighten it up

I mean, I'll tell ya

So come back, pretty baby

And I'll be the girl you want me to be, oh baby

I just wanna tell you somethin'

I ain't gonna cheat no more

Ain't gonna lie no more, baby

Ain't gonna do you bad no more

And I ain't gonna make you cry no more

You know I'm straightenin' up

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know I must straighten it up

I mean, I'll tell ya right now

Come back, pretty baby

And I'll be the girl you want me to be, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy

Straightenin' up, I'm straightenin' up, daddy

You know I must straighten it up, baby

Oh, I've got to straighten up

My darlin', my lovin', oh, why can't you hear me, baby?

Oh, you know, I wanna straighten up

Please let me straighten up, baby

I beggin' you, my little darlin'

Oh, oh, baby
