Why can't you behave

Oh why can't you behave

After all the things you told me

And the promises that you gave

Oh why can't you behave

Why why why can't you be good

I was faithful and true but what good will it do

And do do just as you should

Yes you had the right touch but I was askin' too much

Won't you turn that new leaf over

So your baby can be your slave

Oh why can't you behave

There's a farm I know near my old home town

Where we two can go and try settling down

There I'll care for you forever

'Cause you're all in this world I crave

Oh why can't you behave

Why can't you behave
