Why can't you behave? Oh, why can't you behave?
After all the things you told
me, and those promises that you gave,
Oh, why can't you behave?
Why can't you be good? And do just as you should?
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 the world I crave.
But baby, why can't you behave?
I said I'll care for you
forever, 'cause you're all in the world I crave.
But why, why can't you behave?
Baby, I'm all confused.
