I wanna get it straight up front
Let's tell each other what we want
So we can both decide up front
If we like it or we don't
Just as long as I'm single
I'm gonna do what the heck I please
I don’t feel it's fair
For you to be restricting me
If you want a serious commitment
You gotta first make one yourself
If you want it one sided
You'd better find somebody else
That’s why I wanna get it straight up front
Let's tell each other what we want
So we can both decide up front
If we like it or we don't
I've been in relationships
Where I've given all of myself
I did everything for him
He did everything for someone else
Now don't misunderstand me
I'm not prejudging you
But if you plan to fool around
Let me know so I can do it too
Baby get it straight up front
Let's tell each other what we want
So we can both decide up front
If we like it or we don't
Decide up front
I know everything can't be predicted
Because love don't work that way
But we can at least agree on the rules
Before we start to play
Baby get it straight up front
Let's tell each other what we want
So we can both decide up front
If we like it or we don't
Decide up front
Let's tell each other what we want
So we can both decide up front
If we like it or we don't
Just as long as I'm single
I'm gonna do what the heck I please
I don’t feel it's fair
For you to be restricting me
If you want a serious commitment
You gotta first make one yourself
If you want it one sided
You'd better find somebody else
That’s why I wanna get it straight up front
Let's tell each other what we want
So we can both decide up front
If we like it or we don't
I've been in relationships
Where I've given all of myself
I did everything for him
He did everything for someone else
Now don't misunderstand me
I'm not prejudging you
But if you plan to fool around
Let me know so I can do it too
Baby get it straight up front
Let's tell each other what we want
So we can both decide up front
If we like it or we don't
Decide up front
I know everything can't be predicted
Because love don't work that way
But we can at least agree on the rules
Before we start to play
Baby get it straight up front
Let's tell each other what we want
So we can both decide up front
If we like it or we don't
