I wanna do it

My, but it's trouble every day

And a battle of the wills gets you down



And you don't wanna fight

But it's hard to walk away

When a shadow of the good girl gets you bound



Baby, well behaved never lasts for long

You pull away and we've all heard the same old song

Where he ties you down, he doesn't want you strong

If he wants you well behaved, your love won't last for long



So you think you've learned your lesson

And you finally get away

And a boy with good intentions steals your heart



But you make him ask permission

Like when a child goes out to play

In a battle for attention, you start



But baby, well behaved never lasts for long

You pull away and we've all heard the same old song

Where you tie him down, you don't want him strong

If you want him well behaved, your love won't last for long



Baby, well behaved never lasts for long

You pull away and we've all heard the same old song

Where he ties you down, he doesn't want you strong

If he wants you well behaved, your love won't last for long



Your love won't last for long

Won't last for long



Won't last for long
