Partin' Time - Take 3
Babe, if you can't do better
I'd better get me a babe that can
Yes, woman, if you can't do no better
I think I'd better get me a babe that can
Well, you're goin' around cheatin' and lyin', woman
You ain't doin' nothin', but losin' a good man
Yes, life is too short to be worryin'
Woman and you're old enough to understand
Yes, I said life is too short, too short to be worryin', woman
And I know you're old enough to understand
So, babe, if you can't do no better
Then I'd better get me a woman that can
Oh, if I never said hello, woman
Then I wouldn't be sayin' goodbye
Well, I've packed my bag, ready to leave, woman
I'm so hurt I could cry
Yes, what did I do to make you treat me like this, baby?
What did I do, tell me why?
Oh, do you think you're too better, woman?
Do you think you would do better by yourself?
Oh, how do the grass look much greener, woman?
Do the grass look much greener some places?
Yes, but if you can't do no better, baby
I think I'd better get me a woman that can
I'd better get me a babe that can
Yes, woman, if you can't do no better
I think I'd better get me a babe that can
Well, you're goin' around cheatin' and lyin', woman
You ain't doin' nothin', but losin' a good man
Yes, life is too short to be worryin'
Woman and you're old enough to understand
Yes, I said life is too short, too short to be worryin', woman
And I know you're old enough to understand
So, babe, if you can't do no better
Then I'd better get me a woman that can
Oh, if I never said hello, woman
Then I wouldn't be sayin' goodbye
Well, I've packed my bag, ready to leave, woman
I'm so hurt I could cry
Yes, what did I do to make you treat me like this, baby?
What did I do, tell me why?
Oh, do you think you're too better, woman?
Do you think you would do better by yourself?
Oh, how do the grass look much greener, woman?
Do the grass look much greener some places?
Yes, but if you can't do no better, baby
I think I'd better get me a woman that can
