(clarke / macaulay)      Took you from dakota from the black hills to the plains   I brought you up a lady and the right way to behave   Turned my pockets inside-out and not a dime was saved   And now you're trying to decide whether to go or stay      Don't let a little thing like love keep on bringing you down, my babe   Or ever change the plans you made   Don't let a little thing like tears keep on turning you 'round, my babe   You're old enough to change your ways   And if you're feeling all run down, you look for the brighter lights uptown   Don't let a little thing like me ever stand in your way      Took you on a fast train across the rio grande   A mexicano wedding with a tijuana band   You blew my whole life savings and all the gold I'd panned   So if you're trying to find a way to say your sweet goodbyes      Chorus      You're old enough to change your ways   And if you're feeling all run down   You look for the right to light the town   Don't let a little thing like me   Ever stand in your way   Don't let a little thing like love
