Usher · Other Songs - Usher

Monica:

Sit yourself down boy and talk to me

Tell me what's on your mind

Don't keep on telling me everything's okay

Cause if it was then you wouldn't be crying

You been acting real funny when I see you lately

Sitting around poutin' all day long

Now how in the world do you expect me to understand

When I not even know what's wrong



Chorus:

Straighten it out, let's straighten it out

Let's straighten it out(Monica: Baby)

Let's straighten it out(Monica: Out....)

Let's straighten it out



Usher:

For the last few days when I saw you baby

Oh I admit something just wasn't right

It's so many things going through my head

I didn't want to start another fight

But if your tired of people being bothered baby

In the world we'd be all alone

Instead of being apart of a problem baby

You and me otta be getting along, yeah....
