You've got to change your evil ways, baby, 
before I stop lovin' you. 
You've got to change, baby, 
and every word that I say is [bad word]  
You got [bad word]  and hidin' all over town, 
you got me sneakin' and a-peepin' [bad word]  you down. 
This can't go on, Lord knows you got to change, baby. 

When [bad word] home, baby, 
my house is dark and my pots are cold. 
You're hangin' round, baby, 
with Jean and Joan and-a who knows who. 
I'm gettin' tried of waitin' and foolin' around, 
I'll find somebody who won't make me feel like a clown. 
This can't go on, Lord knows you got to change, baby.
