(Monica:)
Um
Um um ah um
Sit yourself down boy and talk to me
Tell me what's on your mind
Don't keep on telling me
Everything OK 'cause if it was
Then you wouldn't be crying
You been acting real funny
When I see you lately um sitting around
Pouting all day long
Now how in the world
Do you expect me to understand, um oh
When I don't even know what's wrong.

CHORUS:
Um let's straighten it out
Umm let's straighten it out
Baby let's straighten it out
Let's straighten it out

(Usher:)
For the last few days
(Monica) Straighten it out
When I saw you baby
Oh I admit something just wasn't right,
It's so many things going through my head
Oh I didn't want to start another fight
But if you're tired we won't even bother
Baby oh, oh, oh
In a world where I'm all alone
Instead of I'm being a part of the problem
Baby you and me oughta be getting along
Ya ya

Straightening it out
Let's straighten it out

(Usher:)
We need to straighten it out
Let's straighten it out
Me and you, you and me baby

(Monica:)
Baby
Let's straighten it out

Ah ah ah

(Usher:)
Hey

Let's straighten it out (2x)

I think it's time for you and me to straighten it out
Ah ah

(Monica and Usher:)
Now how in the world
Do you expect me to understand?

(Monica:)
Um when I don't even know what's wrong

(Monica and Usher:)
Baby, baby, baby

Straighten it out

(Usher:)
Ya ya

(Monica:)
Ya, oh let's straighten it out

(Usher:)
Can we straighten?
Can you help me babe?

(Monica:)
Baby, baby, baby
