If You Don’t Change

by mckavanaugh

You say that you love me baby - And we’re best of friends
Then you go and shove me darlin’ - Out the door and pretend
You should know better than that, baby - Than to tell me lies
I hear all the things keeping you busy - I hear your alibis
I wish you’d just say you can’t stand to see me - Wish you’d hurt me good one time
Instead of nickeling and diming it with me - And feeding me all your lines

You’re gonna be left behind alone and crying if you don’t change

No one’s treated you better than me, babe - You know my love is real
Think of the other lovers you’ve known and see - The truth can’t be concealed
I’ve cared for your feelings, baby - I’ve looked after your needs
When we had different things to do - You know how I’d finally concede
I won’t take this stuff too much longer - You are or you aren’t mine
Gonna find me a lover who’s stronger - Than your watered down wine

You’re gonna be left behind alone and crying if you don’t change

You better be listening, baby - ‘Cause this is for real
I know I always act so nice - But that is the deal
Don’t think I wouldn’t do it, baby - That’s my side you don’t know
So if you don’t want me, baby - Stay the same and I’ll go
Of course it’ll hurt me darlin’ - It’s a crying shame
But I simply won’t have a choice - If you must play these games

You’re gonna be left behind alone and crying if you don’t change
