I was talking with a friend of mine
Said a woman had hurt his pride
Told him that she loved him so
And turned around and let him go
Then he said, you better watch your step
Or your gonna get hurt yourself
Someone's gonna tell you lies
Cut you down to sizeDon't do me like that
Don't do me like that
What if I love you baby?
Don't do me like thatDon't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Someday I might need you baby
Don't do me like thatListen honey, can you see?
Baby, you would bury me
If you were in the public eye
Givin' someone else a try
And you know you better watch your step
Or you're gonna get hurt yourself
Someone's gonna tell you lies
Cut you down to sizeDon 't do me like that
Don't do me like that
What if I love you baby?
Don't, don't, don't, don'tDon'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 saying, Love doesn't last that long
I got this feelin' inside night and day
And now I can't take it no moreListen honey, can you see?
Baby, you would bury me
If you were in the public eye
Givin' someone else a try
And you know you better watch your step
Or you're gonna get hurt yourself
Someone's gonna tell you lies
Cut you down to sizeDon't do me like that
Don't do me like that
What if I love you baby?
Don't, don't, don't, don'tDon't do me like that
Don't do me like that
I just might need you honey
Don't do me like thatWait
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Baby, baby, baby
Don't, don't, don'tNo
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Baby, baby, babyOh, oh, oh
