[Intro]
[Chorus 1]
Hey darlinâ I got news for you
I quit all that mess you wanted me to
I even quit runninâ around on you, darlinâ I swear itâs true
I quit drinkinâ and stealinâ
And lookinâ for fights in all night bars
And beinâ brought home in a police car, baby I swear
[Verse 1]
Now donât you worry âbout gettinâ your picture in the paper
Announcinâ you as marryinâ me
Just waitâll I have my first hit record
Iâll make you proud as can be
When you hear me singinâ on the hit parade
You can tell your friends you is my wife
Weâll have two cadillac cars in the driveway
Theyâll make a movie about our lives
Weâll have Sunday dinner at your parentsâ house
And I wonât pick a fight with your paw, naw
[Chorus 2]
Hey darlinâ I got news for you
I quit all that mess you wanted me to
I even quit runninâ around on you, darlinâ I swear itâs true
I quit flirtinâ with other womerns
And tellinâ lies to save my own neck
And gamblinâ away your paycheck, baby I swear
[Verse 2]
Iâll even get my teeth fixed
And have my tattoos removed
At least the one that spells my ex-wifeâs name
Iâll do it all for you
And when Iâm rich we can move out to Hollywood
Iâll make hit records and movies all day
And you can call your momma long distance
Long as your momma pays
Weâll eat supper at the Brown Derby restaurant
And you can have anything you want
[Chorus 1]
Hey darlinâ I got news for you
I quit all that mess you wanted me to
I even quit runninâ around on you, darlinâ I swear itâs true
I quit drinkinâ and stealinâ
And lookinâ for fights in all night bars
And beinâ brought home in a police car, baby I swear
[Outro]
I even quit runninâ around on you
Baby I swear itâs true
