The direction you go wont cause me a problem
You know you can count on me
The silly things you seem to do to me
Are in the past and I'm feeling free
Be direct baby Don't give me grief
Be direct baby Don't mess me around
Be direct baby Don't call my name
You know I wont play Your silly game
If you find you are getting into a mess
Give me a call and I'll give you advice
At one time you made my world
Now I feel as cold as ice
Be direct baby Don't give me grief
Be direct baby Don't mess me around
Be direct baby Don't call my name
You know I wont play Your silly game
I'm leaving town on a greyhound bus
I don't know where I'm going
I just havn't made up my mind
Kind of figured what I'm doing
Be direct baby Don't give me grief
Be direct baby Don't mess me around
Be direct baby Don't call my name
You know I wont play Your silly game
All I need is direction
All I ever needed was you
All I needed was protection
To keep me from feeling blue
Be direct baby Don't give me grief
Be direct baby Don't mess me around
Be direct baby Don't call my name
You know I wont play your silly game
Now you can tell your friends
You don't know who I am
They must have got mixed up
As someone else was in the trap
Be direct baby Don't give me grief
Be direct baby Don't mess me around
Be direct baby Don't call my name
You know I wont play Your silly game
