Straight Talk - Dolly Parton

Gimme some straight talk, straight talk and hold the sugar please

Straight talk, straight talk, sounds plenty sweet to me

Don’t talk to me in circles in some mumbo-jumbo jive

Gimme just straight talk, straight talk and we’re gonna be alright

Cause I like to know just where I stand, I don’t like guessing games

And I hate a bunch of gibberish, so just spit it out real plain

Don’t use big educated words from your BS Degree

Straight talk, straight talk, don’t trying me

Straight talk, straight talk, turn loose and let it go

You can tell me anything, just like on Oprah’s show

Just tell me how you really feel, be on the up and up

With questions I can understand, for answers you can trust

Pick up the phone, you’re not alone, we’ve all got something to say

So listen in and listen up, we’ll find a better way

With honesty and common sense, it’s really hard to miss

Straight talk, straight talk, just telling it like it is

Straight talk, straight talk, there’s nothing like the truth

Just tell me all your troubles, pretend I’m Donahue

So don’t be shy, 'cause we can talk, you know you’ve got a friend

Call me, call me, for simple straight talking

What’s cooking, America?

Straight talk, straight talk

Straight talk, straight talk

So come on let’s talk turkey, just straight and to the point

About passions, about problems, about noses out of joint

Now I want you all to know I care and I do understand

And hey, thanks for lending me an ear out there in radioland

Gimme some straight talk, straight talk and hold the sugar please

Straight talk, straight talk, sounds plenty sweet to me

Don’t talk to me in circles in some mumbo-jumbo jive

Gimme just straight talk, straight talk and we’re gonna be alright

Straight talk, straight talk, makes plenty sense to me

Don’t talk to me in circles, in your mumbo-jumbo jive

Gimme just straight talk, straight talk, and we’re gonna be alright

Gimme just straight talk, straight talk, and we’re gonna be alright
