Won't you give me the low down 
Just as quick as you can 
Baby, I've been out of touch 
Just give me the scam 

Don't give me the sports page, baby 
No political news 
Don't you give me the gossip 
Just give me the [bad word] 
Just between me and you 

Give me the low down 
If you can 
Don't want a show down 
I just want to know where I stand 
Don't read me the horoscope babe 
That ain't what I need 
Our future will never last 
But that's between you and me 

I don't want the movie section 
I'll see for myself 
I don't want the news that fits 
Shove it back on the shelf 

Give me the [bad word] 
Just between me and you 

Give me the low down 
If you can 
I don't want a show down 
I just want to know where I stand 

The headlines are screaming 
They change everyday 
As long as I ain't in them 
I'm happy that way 

I know that you won't lie to me 
But you hold back the [bad word] 
Please give me the low down 
I can only get it from you 

Give me the [bad word] 
Just between me and you 

Give me the low down 
If you can 
Don't want a show down 
I just want to know where I stand 

Give me the low down 
As quick as you can 
I don't want to hear about it 
I want it straight from you 

Give me the [bad word]
