(Rodney Crowell)
|
In this modern world we're livin'
|
The rules ain't like they've ever been
|
Speakin' of spreading it thin
|
That's what you do, flashing your soul
|
That ain't no way to treat your lover
|
Ain't no way to act with feelings
|
Baby, better start turnin' em down
|
|
Now it's a brave new wave we're roarin' in
|
Hanging out, out on the rock 'n roll fringe
|
Speaking of running around
|
All over town, lettin' it show
|
That ain't no way to treat your lover
|
Ain't no way to act in public
|
Baby, don't better start turnin' em down, start to turnin' down
|
|
Sure is clear ain't nothin' easy any more
|
Sure gets cloudy when I look in all directions
|
Sure is rainin' like this feeling in my heart
|
Sure is crazy how you're acting
|
|
In this latest craze or current trend
|
Burnin' money every way that you can
|
Speakin' of goin' for broke
|
That's how it is and lettin' it slow
|
That ain't no way to treat your lover
|
Ain't no way to act with strangers
|
Baby, you'd better start turnin' em down, start to turnin' down
|
|
Baby, better start turnin'
|
Baby, better start turnin' 'em down
|
Baby, better start turnin'
|

Baby Better Start Turnin' 'Em Down
