Well, I'm sick and tired of wakin' up, sick and tired   As of today there's gonna be some changes made      Well, you might as well keep your feet on the ground   'Cause I won't stand still for you're movin' around   It's high time you quit your lowdown ways, yeah      Anything to the talk I hear over town   Is it really true, girl that you go on the deck up and down      Now the word as well as I can recall   Everywhere you've been, you've been the belle of the ball   Well, it's high time you quit your lowdown ways, yeah      I remember one time now, way back down on the farm   My daddy had a Dominican hen but she wouldn't stay home      Well, now she could fly higher than a jet airplane   But not after daddy clipped her little ol' wings   It's high time you quit your lowdown ways, yeah
