give it to me straight

went down last night to the local honkey tonk
wasn't expecting to see what I saw
we'd said goodbye just a couple days ago
now there she is swinging on the dance floor
give it to me straight
give it to me cold
Tell me everything I'm lookin to know
might not take it in stride
things might get outa hand
you can be sure I'm gonna take it like a man
I walked in the door, music never skipped a beat
couldn't even hear the breakin of my heart
went to the bar and grabbed myself a seat
better have a drink 'fore I tear the place apart
give it to me straight
give it to me cold
Tell me everything I'm lookin to know
might not take it in stride
things might get outa hand
you can be sure I'm gonna take it like a man
cuffed my hands, now they're tellin me my rights
asking me why, but I don't hear them anymore
we're each goin our way underneath flashing lights
but neither of them will be dancin any more
give it to me straight
give it to me cold
Tell me everything I'm lookin to know
might not take it in stride
things might get outa hand
you can be sure I'm gonna take it like a man
yeah, I'm gonna take it
Take it like a man
