Don't get me mad, don't tell no lie
Don't make me sad, don't pass me by 
Baby are you holding, holding anything but me? 
Because I'm a real straight shooter
If you know what I mean 

You can bring me love, you can hang around 
You can bring me up, don't you bring me down 
Baby are you holding, holding anything but me? 
Because I'm a real straight shooter
If you know what I mean 

I've been searching all night
Just to find what I'm looking for 
Baby, baby, treat me right
Or I won't come round your door 
No more! 

You can bring me love, you can hang around 
You can bring me up, don't you bring me down 
Baby are you holding, holding anything but me? 
Because I'm a real straight shooter
If you know what I mean

I've been searching all night
Just to find what I'm looking for 
Baby, baby, treat me right
Or I won't come round your door 
No more!

Don't get me mad, don't tell no lie 
Don't get me sad, just get me high 
Baby, what your holding
Half of that belongs to me 
Because I'm a real straight shooter

(Baby, don't you get me down)
I'm a real straight shooter
(I've been searching all night long)
I'm a real straight shooter (baby) 
If you know what I mean
If you know what I mean
