Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Straighten it out, let's straighten it out
Let's straighten it out
Baby
Let's straighten it out
Out
Let's straighten it out
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 oughta be getting along, yeah .

Sit yourself down boy and talk to me
I want you to open up and share your thoughts with me
Tell me what's on your mind
Communicate with me about what's bothering you
Don't keep on telling me everything's okay
Don't pretend that everything is okay when it's not
'Cause if it was then you wouldn't be crying
Your tears are a sign that something is wrong
You been acting real funny when I see you lately
I've noticed a change in your behavior when we're together
Sitting around poutin' all day long
You seem unhappy and are not your usual self
Now how in the world do you expect me to understand
It's hard for me to help you when I don't know what's wrong
Straighten it out, let's straighten it out
Let's work through this issue together
Baby
Term of endearment for the person he's speaking to
For the last few days when I saw you baby
I've noticed something has been off with you for a few days
Oh I admit something just wasn't right
There's definitely something wrong
It's so many things going through my head
I'm trying to figure out what's causing this change in you
I didn't want to start another fight
I don't want to argue about this, I want to help solve the problem
But if your tired of people being bothered baby
If you're tired of getting upset and want to fix the issue

If we can't work through this, we'll be isolated from the world and each other
Instead of being apart of a problem baby

@@blacklightfamilycircle4425 These souls, who are the most deeply in the lies, shall have the most powerful testimony's if they come to REPENTANCE.
Every one, EVERY ONE is called to repentance, to born again, to count the cost of becoming CHRISTIAN.
For we all are HUMAN BEINGS and sinned and fallen short in the glory of GOD, therefore to us all a way to SALVATION is given, THROUGH CHRIST goes the only way, WHICH IS NARROW not wide.
"people are uncomfortable speaking about this" - that`s because they SIN that bad.
And if truth hurts us that bad, we then better pray, that we never gonna know nor understand how badly sick and evil we have become all these 3 times:
- before the flood,
- before the burn up city,
- now, before the fire.
3 blown up chances. Why are we worry about climate changes? No climate change. All we do witness is THE (RIGHTEOUS) WRATH OF GOD. Why? - cause we`re SICK AND EVIL. Were WICKED.
Souls, time to stop using all these emojis and hand signs, for all these origin from masonry and do so in both places: online and offline.
Romans 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Luke 5:32
I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
All the famous and rich names give up being a CHRISTIAN (if they, a FTMs and MTFs even were ) on that very moment they signed the contract or as they also admit, that they did made the deal with the devil.
