| Why Can't You Behave |
|---|
| Why can’t you behave? |
| Oh, why can’t you behave? |
| After all the things you told me |
| And the promises that you gave |
| Oh, why can’t you behave? |
| Oh, 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 hometown |
| Where we two can go and try settlin' down, yeah |
| There I’ll care for you forever |
| Well, at least till you dig my grave |
| Why can’t you behave? |
| Settle down and behave |
