Partin’ Time Lyrics
Baby, if you can't do no better
I think I'd better get me a woman that can
Well, if you can't do no better, woman
I think I'd better get me a babe that can
Yes, you're goin' around cheatin' and lyin'
You ain't doin' nothin' but losin' a good man
Well, life is too short to be worryin', woman
Babe and you're old enough to understand
Yes, life is too short to be worryin', woman
And you're old enough to understand
Baby, if you can't do no better, baby
I think I'd better get me a woman that can
Oh, if I never said hello to you, woman
Than I wouldn't be sayin' goodbye
Oh, I've got my bags already packed, woman
I'm so hurt I wanna cry
Yes, what makes, what makes you treat me like you do, baby?
Yes I wanna know, tell me why
