Well, I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired
As of today, there's gonna be some changes made
Well, you might as well keep your feet on the ground
'Cause I won't stand still for your moving around
It's high time you quit your lowdown ways

Any talk you talk, I hear over town
Is it really true, girl, you just wanna jump up and down
Well, the word as well as I can recall
Everywhere you been, you've been the bell of the ball
It's high time you quit your lowdown ways

I remember one time way back down on the farm
My daddy had a dommer necker hen, but she wouldn't stay home
Man, she can fly high as a jet airplane
Long after Daddy clipped her little, ole wings
It's high time you quit your lowdown ways

Man, I'm sick and tired of wakin' up sick and tired
As of today, there's gonna be some changes made
Well, you might as well keep your feet on the ground
Girl, I won't stand still for you movin' around
It's high time you quit your lowdown ways

Honey, it's high time you quit your lowdown ways
High time
