Lyrics

You won't listen to nothing I tell you, baby

You are not paying attention to anything I say, my dear

You keep on doing just as you please

You continue to act according to your own desires

Hey, you won't do nothing I tell you, baby

Hey, you are not following any of my instructions, darling

Keep on doing as you please

You persist in doing as you please

I've taken as long as I can, baby

I've endured this for as long as I can, my love

When is this foolishness gonna cease

When will this foolish behavior come to an end?


I've worried myself crazy, baby

I've become extremely anxious, my love

Cried both night and day

I've shed tears both night and day

I said I've worried myself crazy, baby

I said I've become extremely anxious, my love

Cried both night and day

I've cried both night and day

You don't believe me, baby

You may not believe me, my dear

But I'm gonna leave one of these days

But I plan to leave one of these days


Well, you told me that you love me

You claimed to love me

But actions speak louder than words

But your actions speak louder than your words

Oh, you said you love me, baby

You professed your love, my dear

But action speaks louder than words

But actions carry more weight than mere words

I won't be fooled no longer, baby

I will not be deceived any longer, my love

That line everybody's heard

That line is a cliché everyone has heard before


Well, If you're gonna change, baby

If you intend to change, my dear

You better do it real soon

You better make that change very soon

Hey, If you're gonna change

Hey, if you're going to change

For the better, baby

For the better, my dear

You better do it real soon

You better make that change very soon

Because you'll wake up one of these mornings

Because one of these mornings, you'll wake up

Find yourself in a empty room

To find yourself alone in an empty room
