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.
