(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 youre trying to decide whether to go or stay
Dont let a little thing like love keep on bringing you down, my babe
Or ever change the plans you made
Dont let a little thing like tears keep on turning you round, my babe
Youre old enough to change your ways
And if youre feeling all run down, you look for the brighter lights uptown
Dont 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 Id panned
So if youre trying to find a way to say your sweet goodbyes
Chorus
Youre old enough to change your ways
And if youre feeling all run down
You look for the right to light the town
Dont let a little thing like me
Ever stand in your way
Dont let a little thing like love
