If You're Gonna Straighten Up (Brother Now's The Time)

She's getting tired of your running around
 Out every night trying to paint the town
 She's growing weary of your childish games
 She's getting fed up with the dang thing
 You better listen to me when I talk
 That little lady's 'bout to up and walk
 And if she leaves you, boy you'll lose your mind
 So if you're gonna straighten up, brother now's the time
 She's been calling on my telephone
 I've got a shoulder she's been crying on
 You'd see the ending if you'd only look
 Your baby doll's about to close the book
 You keep neglecting what you've got at home
 The way she looks she won't be lonely long
 I know she loves you but she's tired of lies
 So if you're gonna straighten up, brother now's the time
 A woman has her needs and her desires
 She ought to have the lovin' she requires
 You can keep her if you only try
 But better hurry 'fore she says goodbye
 The kind of love that gives a girl a thrill
 If you won't give it there are those who will
 There's lot's of men who'd love to have a shot
 At having something you've already got
 You best be careful what you throw away
 It just might haunt you till your dying day
 What's the matter with you boy, you blond?
 If you're gonna straighten up, brother now's the time
