About

On the surface a relatively straightforward “don’t bring me down” love song, it can also be read as an elaborate innuendo for a junkie looking to score.

Straight Shooter Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't get me mad
Don't tell no lie
Don't make me sad
Don't pass me by
Baby, are you holding
Holding anything but me?
'Cause I'm a real straight shooter
If you know what I mean

[Verse 2]
You can bring me love
You can hang around
You can bring me up
Don't you bring me down
Baby, are you holding
Holding anything but me?
'Cause I'm a real straight shooter
If you know what I mean

[Bridge]
I've been searching all night
Just to find what I'm looking for
Baby, baby, treat me right
Or I won't come 'round your door
No more

[Verse 3]
You can bring me love
You can hang around
You can bring me up
Don't you bring me down
Baby, are you holding
Holding anything but me?
'Cause I'm a real straight shooter
If you know what I mean

[Bridge]
I've been searching all night
Just to find what I'm looking for
(Looking for, looking for)
Baby, baby, treat me right
Or I won't come 'round your door
No more

[Verse 4]
Don't get me mad
Don't tell no lie
Don't get me sad
Just get me high
Baby, what you're holding
Half of that belongs to me
'Cause I'm a real straight shooter
(Baby, don't you get me mad)
I'm a real straight shooter
(I've been searching all night long)
I'm a real straight shooter
Baby, if you know what I mean

[Outro]
If you know what I mean, ooh
