You're Gonna Change (Or I'm Gonna Leave) Songtext
von Emmylou Harris

When you wore out a brand-new trunk
Packin′ and unpackin' your junk
Your mama′s mad, she done got peeved
You're gonna change or I'm gonna leave

Well, this ain′t right, that is wrong
You just keep naggin′ all the day long
It's gonna stop, I don′t mean please
Now you're gonna change or I′m a-gonna leave


The way to keep a woman happy
And make her do what's right
Is love her every mornin′ and do the same at night
Your mama's mad, she done got peeved
You're gonna change or I′m gonna leave

But every time you get mad
You pack your rags, go back to what you had
You tell her lies, she don′t believe
You're gonna change or I′m gonna leave

You're gonna change your way of livin′
Change the things you do
Stop doin' all the things that you oughten to
Your mama′s mad, she done got peeved
You're gonna change or I'm a-gonna leave

Well, you′re gonna change or I′m a-gonna leave
