Lyrics

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
