John Prine - Im Tellin You Lyrics

I'm tellin' you, you'd better change your ways
I am tired of being lonely night and day
While around the town you chase
There'll be someone in your place
If you don't stop your cheatin'
I'm tellin' you

I'm gettin' wise, so honey take this tip from me
I am not the foolish soul I used to be
If you think you'll treat me wrong
You'll come home and I'll be gone
If you don't straighten out
I'm tellin' you

The road is long that never takes a turn
And, hard is hard, that has no chance to yearn
I've loved you much too much
Oh you big old such and such
Now you'd better straighten out
I'm tellin' you
Now you'd better straighten out
I'm tellin' you
