Song Description

A strong woman asking for a straight answer about whether or not the relationship should be continued. No guilt trips here, just a request for honesty, giving the guy an easy way out, yet still holding some hope that maybe it's not over.

Lyrics

STRAIGHT TALK

We've been together now for so many years,
We've lived together through fair and stormy weather,
But now I'm sensing that there's something that's changed,
There's something in your life you're wanting rearranged.

Chorus:
Straight Talk! Tell it like it is,
Tell me you don't love me,
Tell me you don't need me,
Straight Talk! Tell it to me true,
If you don't wanna be with me
Then I don't wanna be with you.

I know you well, you're a considerate man,
You wouldn't want to hurt me, you'd never desert me,
I don't want your pity nor your charity,
If I don't have your heart, then there's nothing for me.

Repeat Chorus

Don't feel guilty, it's a waste of our time,
You know I'm strong and I'll get along,
All I ask is that you give me the word,
I'll pack up my bags and I'll never return.

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
Maybe it's not over,
Maybe I have read you wrong
Baby think it over,
Search your heart and then speak your mind,
And give it to me!

New Chorus:
Straight Talk! Tell it like it is,
Tell me that you love me,
Tell me that you need me,
Straight Talk! Tell it to me true,
'Cause if you wanna be with me,
Then I wanna be with you (Give it, give it to me)

Repeat New Chorus to end of music
