Talk straight, talk straight, so I can relate
Don't insinuate, please don't mumble
Let's save some time
Say what's on your mind
I will help you out if you stumble, but baby talk straight
You're scared to lose control
To take a step that you might regret
But if you never choose
You'll lose the prize you idealize
So 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
If you only talk straight
