I'm tellin' you, you'd better change your way I am tired of being lonely night and day While around the town you chase There'll be someone in your place You had better change your ways I'm tellin' you I'm gettin' wise, so take this tip from me I am not the foolish soul I used to be If you think you'll do me wrong You'll come home and I'll be gone You had better stop you're cheatin' I'm tellin' you Now, it's no fun to sit around and wait So Baby, you had better get this train I have packed that trunk of mine So just try for one more time You'll be sorry when you do I'm tellin' you The road is long that never takes a turn Why, hard is hard, that takes no time to yearn I have loved you much, you know Now it's time for you to go So you'd better be on your way I'm tellin' you I'm tellin' you, don't hang around no more If you do, you'll find a fat lock on my door When you came along I fell, but I learned my lesson well So you'd better be on your way I'm tellin' you
