If you ask me why
I lie to you
I can tell you I
don't know myself
Its amazingly dishonest
But I'd have to
recognize it
As part of myself
Straighten up
Why can't you
straighten up
I've heard you
tell me this
So many times
It doesn't even stick
I get it all the time
I get it all the time
You know I love to
make A joke of it
And if you ask
me why I hurt you
I don't understand it
I can't help myself
Its a special combination
Of predatory instinct
And simple ill will
I would give some
thought to it
If I thought that
it might do me
Some good
Some good
Straighten up
Why can't you
straighten up
You always
say I'll lose
Control of it
And thirty is
not too old
Well momma I
would give some
thought to it
If I thought
that it
might do me
Some good
Some good
Some good
Some good
