Straight Talk

Gimme some straight talk, straight talk And hold the sugar please Straight talk, straight talk Sounds plenty sweet to me Don't talk to me in circles In some mumbo-jumbo jive Gimme just straight talk, straight talk And we're gonna be alright 'Cause I like to know just where I stand I don't like guessing games And I hate a bunch of gibberish So just spit it out real plain Don't use big educated words From your BS Degree Straight talk, straight talk Don't try bossing me Straight talk, straight talk Turn loose and let it go You can tell me anything Just like on Oprah's show Just tell me how you really feel Be on the up and up With questions I can understand For answers you can trust Pick up the 'phone, you're not alone We've all got something to say So listen in and listen up We'll find a better way With honesty and common sense It's really hard to miss Straight talk, straight talk Just tellin' it like it is Straight talk, straight talk There's nothing like the truth Just tell me all your troubles Pretend I'm Donahue So don't be shy, 'cause we can talk You know you've got a friend Call me, call me For simple straight talkin' What's cookin', America? Straight talk, Straight talk Straight talk, Straight talk So come on let's talk turkey Just straight and to the point About passions, about problems About noses out of joint Now I want you all to know I care and I do understand And hey, thanks for lending me an ear Out there in radio land Give me some straight talk, straight talk Don't sugar coat it please Straight talk, straight talk Sounds sweet enough to me But don't talk to me in circles In your mumbo-jumbo jive Straight talk, straight talk And we're gonna be alright Straight talk, straight talk Makes plenty sense to me Don't talk to me in circles In your mumbo-jumbo jive Gimme just straight talk, straight talk And we're gonna be alright Gimme just straight talk, straight talk And we're gonna be alright --- Straight Talk - Dolly Parton
