When I was young I used to understand
That when you're with a girl, you gotta act like a man
Mama told me that's the way it should be
And I know my mama never lied to me.
Must be a victim of the changin' times
'cause when I'm with you I just can't make up my mind
Since I met you don't know right from wrong
Somebody tell me just what's goin' on
Just can't get myself thinkin' straight
I'm all shook up and in a terrible state
Sometimes I think I got it all figured out
Then you do something new and it just knocks me right out
Someday baby I'm going to have to make a stand
The way that you treat me baby
Don't make me feel too much like a man
And baby, baby, all the changes you're goin' through
You're drivin' me half crazy
Can't make up my mind what to do about you.
Tellin' myself that time is on my side
You're gettin' this feelin' that my mind's on the slide
Dumped on the floor, I feel I'm trapped in a spin
Don't know how to end, can't think of where to begin
She don't care I know she don't even try
But when she turns it on, you know she gets me so high.
She's a lady that's making my life a sin
You know that I'm runnin' in a losin' race
Ain't no way I can win
Baby, baby, the changes you're goin' through
They're drivin' me half crazy
Can't make up my mind what to do about you.
