Why Can’t You Be Straight With Me
Lyrics and Music by Mary McGrath
Copyright 8/6/2010
All rights reserved

(Verse 1)
Today is another sort of day
I can’t get next to you
No matter what you do or say
It’s the same line through and through

(Verse 2)
You say this way, that way, 
Never do what you say you’ll do
Still I always waste my time
Trying just to get next to you 

(Chorus)
I guess I’m just wasting my time
I guess I’m just throwing away this dime
Makes no reason or rhyme
Sure wish I could call you mine

Instrumental bridge

(Verse 3)
Why can’t you be straight with me
I’d rather hear the truth
Than made up lies about who you are
That behavior’s so uncouth

(Verse 4)
You say this way, that way, 
Never do what you say you’ll do
Still I always waste my time
Trying just to get next to you 

(Chorus)
I guess I’m just wasting my time
I guess I’m just throwing away this dime
Makes no reason or rhyme
Sure wish I could call you mine

Instrumental until the end

The notes move jazzily with the drive of bass and scat. Great!
