She's getting tired of your running around Out every night trying to paint the town She's growing weary of your childish games She's getting fed up with the dang thing You better listen to me when I talk That little lady's 'bout to up and walk And if she leaves you,boy you'll lose your mind So if you're gonna straighten up,brother now's the time She's been calling on my telephone I've got a shoulder she's been crying on You'd see the ending if you'd only look Your baby doll's about to close the book You keep neglecting what you've got at home The way she looks she won't be lonely long I know she loves you but she's tired of lies So if you're gonna straighten up,brother now's the time A woman has her needs and her desires She ought to have the lovin' she requires You can keep her if you only try But better hurry 'fore she says goodbye The kind of love that gives a girl a thrill If you won't give it there are those who will There's lot's of men who'd love to have a shot At having something you've already got You best be careful what you throw away It just might haunt you till your dying day What's the matter with you boy,you blond? If you're gonna straighten up,brother now's the time
