(rodney crowell)



In this modern world we're livin'

The rules ain't like they've ever been

Speakin' of spreading it thin

That's what you doflashing your soul

That ain't no way to treat your lover

Ain't no way to act with feelings

Babybetter start turnin' em down



Now it's a brave new wave we're roarin' in

Hanging outout on the rock 'n roll fringe

Speaking of running around

All over townlettin' it show

That ain't no way to treat your lover

Ain't no way to act in public

Babydon't better start turnin' em downstart to turnin' down



Sure is clear ain't nothin' easy any more

Sure gets cloudy when I look in all directions

Sure is rainin' like this feeling in my heart

Sure is crazy how you're acting



In this latest craze or current trend

Burnin' money every way that you can

Speakin' of goin' for broke

That's how it is and lettin' it slow

That ain't no way to treat your lover

Ain't no way to act with strangers

Babyyou'd better start turnin' em downstart to turnin' down



Babybetter start turnin'

Babybetter start turnin' 'em down

Babybetter start turnin'
