Bent Straight

You sure do use a lot of words
To say nothing much at all
You never answer any of my questions
To overcome my resolve

I think that's why I'm a little shy
No, I don't want to get hurt
I've heard about you, the messed up stories
But you deny they occurred

And I don't want to be like that
In your face with fact on fact
You say I'm bent out of shape
But there's nothing wrong with bent straight

You can't change my mind with those come on lines
You're exactly as advertised
With your Jheri curl hair but nobody cares
And you don't seem to realize

You don't stand a chance, not even a glance
You know I don't like guys like you
So won't you step back with your pride intact
I don't want to have to be rude

And I don't want to be like that
In your face with fact on fact
You say I'm bent out of shape
But there's nothing wrong with bent straight

You gotta have rain to get a rainbow
I don't mean to hurt your pride
There's a lot of fish left in the ocean
Maybe one of them will catch your eye

And I don't want to be like that
In your face with fact on fact
You say I'm bent out of shape
But there's nothing wrong with bent straight
You say I'm bent out of shape
But there's nothing wrong with bent straight
