[Intro: Monica]
Mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, baby
Mmm, mmm

[Verse 1: Monica]
Sit yourself down, boy, and talk to me
Tell me what's on your mind
Don't keep on tellin' me everything's okay
'Cause if it was you wouldn't be crying
You've been actin' real funny when I see you lately, mhm
Sittin' around, poutin' all day long
Now how in the world do you expect me to understand?
Mmm, oh
When I don't even know what's wrong? Mmm

[Chorus: Monica]
Let's straighten it out, mmm
Let's straighten it out
Baby, let's straighten it out
Let's straighten it out

[Verse 2: Usher & (Monica)]
For the last few days when I saw you, baby (Straighten it out)
Oh, I admit something just wasn't right
It's so many things goin' through my head
Oh, and I didn't wanna start another fight
But if your tired of people bein' bothered, baby
In the world, we'd be all alone
Instead of bein' a part of a problem, baby
You and me oughta be gettin' along, yeah

[Chorus: Monica, (Usher), Both]
Straighten it out, let's straighten it out
(We need to straighten it out)
Let's straighten it out
(Me and you, you and me, baby) Baby
Let's straighten it out, yeah, yeah (Hey)
Let's straighten it out (Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo)
Yeah, straighten it out, let's straighten it out
(Let's straighten it out, oh, let's straighten it out, baby)
Let's straighten it out
(I think it's time for me and you to straighten it out)
Straighten it out, let's straighten it out (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Let's straighten it out

[Bridge: Monica with Usher]
Now how in the world you expect me to understand
Mmm, when I don't even know what's wrong?
Baby, baby, baby

[Chorus: Monica, (Usher), Both]
Straighten it out, let's straighten it out (Yeah)
Yeah, ooh, let's straighten it out
(Can we straighten? Can you help me, babe?)
Baby, baby, baby
Let's straighten it out, yeah, yeah
(Can you help me sing? Sing it, baby)
(Yeah, yeah) Oh yeah (Yeah)
Let's straighten it out
Let's straighten it out
(I wanna straighten it out with you, baby)
Come on (Come on)
Let's straighten it out, oh yeah
Let's straighten it out
Let's straighten it out
(Come on, come on, come on)
Straighten it out, let's straighten it out (Ooh, oh yeah)
Let's straighten it out (We need to straighten it out)
Let's straighten it out
Let's straighten it out
