Actions Speak Louder Than Words

You won't listen to nothing i tell you, baby
You keep on doing just as you please
Hey, you won't do nothing i tell you, baby
Keep on doing as you please
I've taken as long as i can, baby
When is this foolishness gonna cease
I've worried myself crazy, baby
Cried both night and day
I said i've worried myself crazy, baby
Cried both night and day
You don't believe me, baby
But i'm gonna leave one of these days
Well, you told me that you love me
But actions speak louder than words
Oh, you said you love me, baby
But action speaks louder than words
I won't be fooled no longer, baby
That line everybody's heard
Well, if you're gonna change, baby
You better do it real soon
Hey, if you're gonna change
For the better, baby
You better do it real soon
Because you'll wake up one of these mornings
Find yourself in a empty room
You keep on doing just as you please
Hey, you won't do nothing i tell you, baby
Keep on doing as you please
I've taken as long as i can, baby
When is this foolishness gonna cease
I've worried myself crazy, baby
Cried both night and day
I said i've worried myself crazy, baby
Cried both night and day
You don't believe me, baby
But i'm gonna leave one of these days
Well, you told me that you love me
But actions speak louder than words
Oh, you said you love me, baby
But action speaks louder than words
I won't be fooled no longer, baby
That line everybody's heard
Well, if you're gonna change, baby
You better do it real soon
Hey, if you're gonna change
For the better, baby
You better do it real soon
Because you'll wake up one of these mornings
Find yourself in a empty room
