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

O-o-o-o you get these weird ideas
O-o-o-o 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
O-o-o-o you get these weird ideas
O-o-o-o 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
