Joan Armatrading - Straight Talk lyrics

Every time I try to tell you

Just what's on my mind

You try

And calm me down

But this thing's got to come out

In the open some time

Yeah

You've been seeing

Somebody else

Behind my back

It don't seem fair

I'm the one who ends up

Looking like trash

Straight talk

I'm seriously thinking

That your brain is in revers

Don't try and change my track

I'm gonna spell out something

remember where you heard it first

Yeah

You had my respect

I believed I had your

Respect back

But that's all changed

Now I find you really silly

Straight talking

Oooo you get these weird ideas

Oooo let's get your image clear

You're not bad

But you're no

No Romeo

You know that

No Romeo

You know that

You know that

You know that

Every time I try to tell you

Every time I try to tell you

Got to come out in the open sometime

Oooo you get these weird ideas

Oooo let's get your image clear

You're not bad

But you're no

No Romeo

You know that

No Romeo

You know that

You know that

You know that

Every time I try to tell you

Every time I try to tell you

Got to come out in the open sometime

You've been seeing

Somebody else behind my back

And it don't seem fair

I'm the one who ends up

Looking like trash

Had my respect

I believed I had your

Respect back

But that's all changed

I just find you really silly

Straight talk
