Hey, can you change your ways
Our love is such a treasure
Why do you run away, yeah
From things that give you pleasure

I love you all this time
On and on I've tried
To work it out for the right day
In life you'll learn, you'll see, yeah, yeah

From birth we start to die
Oh, so fast, so near
So little time to try
There's nothing to lose
Nothing to fear

There's so much to know
Then to see the pain it shows
To get what you deserve
To reap what you sow
That's the way it goes

Why can't you change your ways
Why can't you change your ways
Why, why can't you change your ways

Why can't you change your ways
Why can't you change
Why can't you change your ways
Baby, why can't you change

Why can't you change your ways
Why can't you change
Why can't you change your ways
Why can't you change

Why can't you change your ways
Why can't you change
Why can't you change your ways
Baby, why can't you change
