Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers - I'm Straight [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

I, called this number three times already today
But I got scared, I put it back in place
(I put my phone back in place)
I sure don't know if I should have called up
Look just tell me if I'm out of place

Cause here's your chance to make me feel awkward
And wish that I had never even called up this place
I saw you though today, you know 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
Look, I had to call up to day, how I want to take his place

See, he's stoned
Hippie Johnny
Now get this, I'm Straight, and I want to take his place
Now look, I like him too
(I like him...)
Hippie Johnny
But I'm Straight, and I want to take his place
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 meet
With boyfriends(I know) and you tell me how they're deep
Look but, I think...If these guys, if they're really so great
Tell me why can't they at least take this place and make it straight?

Why always stoned
Like Hippie Johnny is?
I'm straight, and I want to take his place
I'm certianley not stoned
Like Hippie Johnny is
I'm Straight, and I want to take his place
I'm Straight
I said I'm Straight
I'm...
I'm Straight, and I want to...

(Alright, all you Modern Lovers, What is it?)
I'm Straight!
(Tell the world now)
I'm Straight!
(That's it)
I'm Straight!
(Yeah)
I'm Straight, and I want to take his place
