N.Y. Breaks - Get It Straight (Live '85) Lyrics

I don't know anymore what I figured out
I had it once but I forgot where I wrote it down

I don't know anymore why I played it out
I had more love but I forgot where I put it now

I get it straight
But that ain't good enough
You cannot wait
Until I call your bluff
The blindest date don't bend this much

I don't know anymore what I figured out
I had it once but I forgot where I wrote it down

If you're getting what you want
Why don't you give me what I need
If you're getting what you want
Why don't you give me what I need

All of the time
Your hand is in mine
The suit fits me fine
The fit suits me fine

But
I don't know your shirt size
You burn me like a candle
I don't want to give
More than you can handle

So get it straight
This is not good enough
I cannot wait
Until I call your bluff
The blindest date don't bend this much

And things must have a way
To get a hold on you
They do
The same to me
But I get free
They don't get through
They only get what's coming
They give you pain that's numbing
They go and leave you bumming
They only get what you give them...
To... eat
