I'm Straight Lyrics - Singles - The Modern Lovers

I called this number three times already today 

But I. I got scared, I put it back in place (I put my phone back in place) 

I still don't know if I, should have called up 

Look... just tell me, why, don't you, if I'm. out of place 

Cause here's your chance to make me feel awkward 

And wish that I had never even called up this place 

I saw you though today 

Walk by with Hippie Johnny 

I had to call up and say 

How I wanna take his place 

So this phonecall today concerns Hippie Johnny 

He's always stoned 

He's never straight

I saw you today, you know 

Walk by with Hippie Johnny 

Look, I had to call up and say 

I wanna take his place 

See, he's stoned 

Hippie Johnny 

Now get this: I'm straight. 

And I want to take his place 

Now, look, I like him too, I like 

Hippie Johnny 

But I'm straight 

And I want to take his place 

I said: I'm straight 

I said I'm straight 

I'm proud to say. 

Well, I'm straight 

And I want to take his place

Now I've watched you walk around here 

I've watched you meet 

Boyfriends, you know, and you tell me how they're deep 

But look, I think these guys. 

If they're really so great 

Tell me, why they can't they at least take this place 

And take it straight? 

Why always stoned? 

Like Hippie Johhny is 

I'm straight 

And I want to take his place 

I'm certainly not stoned 

like Hippie Johhny is 

I'm straight 

And I want to take his place 

I said: I'm straight! 

I said I'm straight! 

I'm... 

I'm straight 

And I want to... 

I'm straight! (tell the world now!) 

I'm straight (that's it!) 

I'm straight (yeah) 

I'm straight 

And I want to take his place
