Lyrics

Ah, baby, don't you do it

Don't do it, baby

Don't you break my heart

Please, don't do it, baby

Don't you break my heart

Please, don't you do it, baby

[Instrumental]

Well, I sacrifice to make laughter

I kept nothing for myself

Now you wanna leave me, baby

For the love of someone else

Well, I'm trying to do my best

Yeah, I'm trying to do my best

Don't you do it

Don't do it, baby

Don't you break my heart

Please, don't you do it, baby

[Instrumental]

My biggest mistake was loving you too much

And letting you know

Oh, now you got me where you want me, baby

You gon' let me go

Well, I'm trying to do my best

Yeah, I'm trying to do my best

Don't do it, baby

[Instrumental]

I go down to the river

And there I'll be

I'm going to jump right in, baby

If you don't see about me

I'm trying to do my best

Yeah, I'm trying to do my best

Open up your heart

Can't you see I need you?

Open up your heart, yeah

Can't you see I love you?

Yeah, don't you do it

Please, don't you do it, babe

Yeah, don't you do it

Please, don't do it, baby

Don't you break my heart now

Don't you break my heart now

Woah, don't you do it now

[Instrumental]

Oh yeah

Baby, baby, baby, baby, don't you do it

Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, babe

Break my heart

Please don't do it, babe

Don't you do it

Don't you break my heart now

[Instrumental]

Oh, my biggest mistake was loving you too much

And letting you go

Oh, now you got me where you want me, baby

You gon' let me go

Well, I try to do my best

Yeah, I try to do my best

Don't you do it

Don't you break my heart

Open up your eyes

Can't you see I need you?

Open up your heart, baby

Can't you see I love you?

Baby, don't you do it

Oh, baby, baby, don't do it

Oh, baby, please don't do it

Don't you break my heart now

Don't you break my heart now

Don't you break my heart now

[Instrumental]

Don't

Don't

Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, please

[Instrumental]

Everybody, everybody

Everybody, come on, woo

[Instrumental]

I go down to the river

And there I'll be

I'm going to Raleigh, baby

Don't see about me

Yeah, I'm trying to do my best

I'm trying to do my best

Don't you do it

Don't, don't, don't you do it

Please, don't you do it

Don't break my heart now

Don't break my heart

Don't do it, babe

[Instrumental]

Come on, do it

Don't you do it

Don't you do it, babe

Don't you break my heart

[Instrumental]

Open up your eyes

Can't you see I need you?

Open up your heart now

Can't you see I love you?

Can't you see I love you?

Can't you see I need you?

Can't you see I love you, I need you

I want you, I want you

So don't you do it

Don't you break my heart now

Yeah, don't you do it

Don't you break my heart now

Don't break my heart

Don't do it, babe
