I'm tellin' you, you 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 If you don't stop your cheatin' I'm a-tellin' you I'm getting wise So honey, take a tip from me I am not the foolish soul I used to be If you think you're treatin' me wrong You'll come home and I'll be gone
If you don't straighten out I'm a-tellin' you [Fiddle and pedal steel guitar bridge] The road is long that never takes a turn And the heart is hard that has no chance to yearn I love you much too much Oh, you big old such and such Now you better straighten out I'm a-tellin' you Now you better straighten out I'm a-tellin' you
