The rough spots

(Iron out) the rough spots
I've been feelin' meager
Been hurt so many times
But I've got faith in you
You can ease my troublin' mind
Hurts gotta hold on me girl
And i can't explain just what it is now
But if you'll turn to me
I'll be alright if you will
Come on now
Iron out the rough spots
Iron out the rough spots
Hurts gotta hold on me girl
And i can't explain just what it is now
But if you'll turn to me
I'll be alright if you will
Iron out the rough spots

Say, whatcha gonna do?

Well, I'll be headed in the right direction
You just give me twenty-four hours of your protection
And I'll be headed in the right direction
Twenty-four hours of your protection
Heading in the right direction
Twenty-four hours of your protection
