Why can't you behave... Oh, why can't you behave... After all the
   things you told me, and the promises that you gave... Oh, why can't
   you behave
  
   Why can't you be good... And do just as you should... Wont' you turn
   that new leaf over, so your baby can be your slave... Oh, why can't you
   behave
  
   There's a farm I know near my old hometown... Where we two can go
   and try settlin' down... There I'll care for you forever, 'cause you're all in
   the world I crave... Oh, why can't you behave
