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?

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 home town

Where we two can go and try settling down

There I'll care for you forever

Cause you're all in the world I crave

But why can't you behave?

There's a farm I know near my old home town

Where we two can go and try settling down

There I'll care for you forever

Cause you're all in the world I crave

But why can't you, oh why can't you?

Oh why can't you behave?
