Duke Ellington
Maybe I Should Change My Ways (Reprise)
[MACHEATH]
Maybe I should change my ways
Maybe crime no longer pays
Maybe I am overdue for a life that's new

What if I should try to live like other people do?
To have a home and children, too?
A loving wife to whom I would be true

Maybe if I could decide
This was just a crazy ride
If I had a change of heart
Would it be a start?

I should change my ways
For something deep inside me says
A man should really give a damn
Or should I stay the way I am?
