I'M STRAIGHT dedicated to nogrow from the Sexual Roleplaying group.

I called this number three times already.
But I, I got scared, I put
I put it back in place,
I put my phone back in place.
I still don't know if I
should have called.
Look, just tell me, why don't ya, if I'm out of place.
'Cause here's your chance to make me feel awkward
And wish that I had never even called this place.
I saw you though today walk by with Hippie Johnny.
I had to call up and say how I want to take his place.
So this phone call today conerns Hippie Johnny.
He's always stoned, he's never straight.
I saw you today, you know, walk by with Hippie Johnny.
I had to call up and say, I want to take his place.
See he's stoned...
Hippie Johnny is.
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 walk around with these boyfriends I know,
And you tell me how these guys are so deep.
But, if these guys are really so great,
Tell me, why can't they take this place,
and take it straight?
Why always stoned,
Like Hippie Johnny is?
I'm straight and I want to take his place.
I'm certainly not stoned, like Hippie Johnny is.
I'm straight and I want to take his place.
I said, I'm straight
I said, I'm straight
I'm straight and I want to take his place
All right you Modern Lovers what do you say?
(I'm straight!)
Tell the world now
(I'm straight!)
I said
(I'm straight!)
Yeah,
I'm straight and I want to take his place.
