Intro
Verse 1
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
Verse 2
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
Verse 3
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
Chorus 1
I would give some
thought to it
If I thought that
it might do me
Some good
Some good
Verse 4
Straighten up
Why can't you
straighten up
You always
say I'll lose
Control of it
And thirty is
not too old
Chorus 2
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
