Straight Up Lyrics

Lost in a dream Don't know which way to go If you are all that you seem Then baby I'm movin' way too slow I've been a fool before Wouldn't like to get my love caught In the slammin' door How about some information--please ::Chorus::LyricsCafe.com:: Straight up now tell me Do you really want to love me forever oh oh oh Or am I caught in a hit and run Straight up now tell me Is it gonna be you and me together oh oh oh Are you just having fun Time's standing still Waiting for some small clue I keep getting chills When I think your love is true I've been a fool before Wouldn't like to get my love caught In the slammin' door How about some information--please ::Chorus::LyricsCafe.com:: Straight up now tell me Do you really want to love me forever oh oh oh Or am I caught in a hit and run Straight up now tell me Is it gonna be you and me together oh oh oh Are you just having fun You are so hard to read You play hide and seek With your true intentions If you're only playing games I'll just have to say--bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye Do do you love me Do do you love me Do do you love me Do do you love me ? I've been a fool before Wouldn't like to get my love caught In the slammin' door Are you more than hot for me Or am I a page in your history-book I don't mean to make demands But the word and the deed go hand in hand How about some information--please {Chorus cont.} I've been a fool before Wouldn't like to get my love caught In the slammin' door Are you more than hot for me Or am I a page in your history-book I don't mean to make demands But the word and the deed go hand in hand How about some information--please {Chorus out}

Meaning of Straight Up

“Straight Up” captures the agonizing uncertainty of a burgeoning romance, fueled by Paula Abdul’s signature blend of pop and yearning. The lyrics portray a woman desperately seeking definitive answers from an elusive lover; she's lost in a dream, frustrated by his cryptic behavior and fearing a casual “hit and run.” She pleads for honest information – "Straight up now tell me" – grappling with the possibility he’s simply enjoying her company without genuine commitment. The repetition of “Do you love me?” underscores her vulnerability and growing anxiety as she questions his intentions, suspecting games and superficial attraction rather than true affection. Ultimately, the song expresses a painful blend of hope and disillusionment, highlighting the fear of being used and the desperate need for clarity in a potentially volatile situation, culminating in a dramatic farewell if her doubts aren’t addressed.
