Baby, Better Start Turnin' Em Down

(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' 'em 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' 'em down.
 Baby, better start turnin'
 Baby, better start turnin' 'em down.
 Baby, better start turnin'...
