Baby Better Start Turnin` `em Down Lyrics

(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` 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` down 

Baby, better start turnin` 
Baby, better start turnin` `em down 
Baby, better start turnin`
