I was talkin' with a friend of mine

Said a woman had hurt his pride

Told him that she loved him so, then

Turned around and let him go

Then he said "you'd better watch your step"

Or you're gonna get hurt yourself

Someone's gonna tell you lies

Cut you down to size...

Don't do me like that, Don't do me like that

What if I love you baby, Don't do me like that

Don't do me like that, Don't do me like that

Someday I'll need ya baby, Don't do me like that

Listen honey can you see, baby you would bury me

if you were in a public eye, givin' someone else a try

And you know you'd better watch your step, or you're gonna get hurt yourself

Someone's gonna tell you lies, Cut you down to size...

Don't do me like that, don't do me like that

What if I love you baby don't don't don't don't

Don't do me like that, don't do me like that

What if I need you baby, don't do me like that

'Cause somewhere deep down inside, someone is sayin'

Love doesn't last that long...

I have the feeling inside, Lord I don't need it

I know I can't take it no more....

Listen honey can you see, baby you would bury me

if you were in a public eye, givin' someone else a try

And you know you'd better watch your step, or you're gonna get hurt yourself

Someone's gonna tell you lies, Cut you down to size...

Don't do me like that, don't do me like that

What if I love you baby don't don't don't don't

Don't do me like that, don't do me like that

I just might need you honey, don't do me like that

Don't do me like that, don't do me like that

Baby baby baby, don't don't don't don't

Don't do me like that, don't do me like that

Baby baby baby, oh oh oh. . . .
