Straight Talk Lyrics - Joan Armatrading

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 

Photos 

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
