You're nothin' but trouble
You drive me insane
I'm crossin' the thin line
Between pleasure and pain
You're a real good lover
That I'll admit
But you're messin' up my life
More than a bit
So listen now, baby
I ain't tellin' you twice
I won't make you my wife

You're spendin' my money
Takin' up too much time
If I don't call it quits now
You'll ruin my life
You're countin' too much on
My patience and love
You think you're home is
At my kitchen stove
But listen now, baby
I ain't tellin' you twice
I won't make you my wife

It happened too often
One too many a time
No more heartbreakin' scenes, girl
No more cheatin' and lies
I'll be better off, baby
Takin' care of myself
So I'm hardenin' up now
Put my soul on a shelf
And listen now, baby
I ain't tellin' you twice
I won't make you my wife

No need to get rude, girl
I'm justing puttin' you off
You're free to move on now
To find a new love
Who'll clothe and feed you
And pay for your dues
Like I did for too long now
'Til I changed the rules
So listen now baby,
I ain't tellin' you twice
I won't make you my wife
So listen now baby,
I ain't tellin' you twice
I won't make you my wife
