You gotta change your evil ways baby
before i stop loving you
you gotta change baby
every word that i say is true
you gotta a bad habit for lying this way
baby change your evil ways
i can't keep myself shut up for one more day

cause you got me running and hiding
all over town
you got me sneaking and peeping
youre running me down, i can't go on
lord knows you gotta change baby,baby
your evil ways baby, baby

when i come home baby,
the house is dark and my pots are cold
your'e running around baby
with jean or joan and who knows who
you gotta bad habit like a run in train
baby change your evil ways
i have lost my will to play
look me up another day

'cause you got me running and hiding
all over town
you got me sneaking and peeping
and running you down, this can't go on
lord knows your gotta change baby baby
your evil ways baby, baby

you got me running and hiding
all over town
you got me sneaking and peeping
youre running me down
im getting tired of waiting and fooling around
for someone who won't make me feel like a clown
baby change your evil ways (x4)

you got me running and hiding
all over town
you got me sneaking and peeping
youre running me down
im fired of waiting and fooling around
for someone who won't make me feel like a clown
this can go on
