I was talkin' with a friend of mine,

He said a woman had hurt his pride,

She told him that she loved him so and

Then turned around and let him go.

Then he said, "You better watch your step

Or you're gonna get hurt yourself.

Someone's gonna tell you lies and

Cut you down to size."

Don't do me like that. Don't do me like that.

I just might love you baby.

Don't do me like that. Don't do me like that.

Don't do me like that.

Someday I might need you honey

Don't do me like that.

Listen honey, can't you see? Baby, it would bury me

If you were in the public eye givin' someone else a try.

So you know you 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.

I just might love you baby.

Don't do me like that. Don't do me like that.

Someday I might need you honey

Don't do me like that. Somewhere deep down inside,

Somethin' sayin,' "Love doesn't last that long."

I've had this feelin' inside night out and day in,

Baby, I can't take it no more.

Listen honey, can't you see? Baby, it would bury me

If you were in the public eye givin' someone else a try.

So you know you 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.

I just might love you baby

Don't do me like that. Don't do me like that.

Someday I might need you, honey. Don't do me like that.
