i'm telling you

Singer:john prine

i'm tellin' you

you'd better change your ways

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 you're cheatin'

i'm tellin' you

i'm gettin' wise

so honey take this tip from me

i am not the foolish soul i used to be

if you think you'll treatin' me wrong

you'll come home and i'll be gone

if you don't straighten out

i'm tellin' you

the road is long that never takes a turn

and

the heart is hard

that has no chance to yearn

i've loved you much too much

oh you big ol' such and such

now you'd better straighten out

ima tellin' you

now you'd better straighten out

ima tellin' you
