A-now-now, when you see a drunk man

It made-a you mad

When you get drunk

You look-a just as bad



You better cut that out

Yeah, you better cut that out

You better cut that out, boy

Befo' it be too, late



A-now-now, when you get high

You know now, you'll get worse

When you get drunk

You throw a rock in a hearst



You better cut that out

Yeah, you better cut that out

Ya better cut that out, boy

Befo' it be too, late



I see you're on your knees

You know you mistreat a friend

The next thing you know

You'll been wonderin' where you been



You better cut that out

Yeah, you better cut that out

Ya better cut that out, boy

Befo' it be too, late



Ya went downtown

Ya say, you didn't go to stay long

The next time I saw ya

You's in another man's home



You better cut that out

Yeah, you better cut that out

Ya better cut that out, boy

Befo' it be too, late



Well now, when you get high

You don't know what to do

You say you get high

Because you feelin' blue



An you better cut that out

Yeah, you better cut that out

Well, ya better cut that out, boy

Befo' it be too, late
