Baby, Better Start Turnin' Em Down lyrics

In this modern world we're living

The rules ain't like they've ever been

Speaking 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 turning 'em down

Now it's a brave new wave we're roaring in

Hanging out out on the rock 'n roll fringe

Speaking of running around all over town, letting it show

That ain't no way to treat your lover

Ain't no way to act in public

Baby, you better start turning 'em down, start to turning down

Sure is clear ain't nothing easy anymore

Sure gets cloudy when I look in all directions

Sure is raining like this feeling in my heart

Sure is crazy how you're acting

In this latest craze or current trend

Burning money every way that you can

Speaking of going for broke

That's how it is and letting it slow

That ain't no way to treat your lover

Ain't no way to act with strangers

Baby, better start turning them down, start to turning down

Baby, better start turning

Baby, better start turning them down

Baby, better start turning
