(Don't be that way, don't you be that way)
Now I don't like to complain
But you turned up late again
Do you think it's being fair
To keep me waiting here?
(Don't be that way)
Don't be that way now
(Don't be that way)
Please don't be that way
When you said that you loved me
I thought how happy we both could be
But now I don't really know
No, I don't think that is so
(Don't be that way)
Don't you be that way now
(Don't be that way)
Please don't be that way
I have done enough as I can
To be a good honest woman
But now you're so mean to me
You're as bad as you can be
(Don't be that way)
Don't you be that way now
(Don't be that way)
Please don't be that way
(Don't be that way)
No, no; no, no
Don't you be that way now
