Straight Talk (From "Straight Talk"/Soundtrack Version) Lyrics

Straight Talk - Dolly Parton

...

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 talkq

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
