Lyrics
[verse]
Let's have a conversation, nothing here to hide,
The kind of talk that magazines keep pushed aside,
Grown folks whisperin', actin' like it's taboo,
But knowledge never hurt nobody, me and you.
[chorus]
Let's talk about it, let's be real about it,
Open up the window, ain't no reason to doubt it,
Let's talk about it, honest conversation,
Understanding is the best kind of education.
[verse]
Teachers keep it quiet, TV plays it safe,
But questions don't just vanish when you hide your face,
Better that we learn it than we guess it wrong,
Truth set to a rhythm, wrapped up in a song.
[chorus]
Let's talk about it, let's be real about it,
Open up the window, ain't no reason to doubt it,
Let's talk about it, honest conversation,
Understanding is the best kind of education.
[bridge]
Respect and safety, that's the golden rule,
Talkin' straight is smarter than actin' like a fool,
No more red faces, no more turnin' away,
Just plain understanding, that's the price we pay.
[chorus]
Let's talk about it, let's be real about it,
Open up the window, ain't no reason to doubt it,
Let's talk about it, honest conversation,
Understanding is the best kind of education.
