Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I won't let you do that to me

Do that to me, baby

Yeah

[Verse 2]

Wait a minute, this is where I draw the line

Tell me, what's got into you?

'Cause apparently, you've lost your mind

Repetitious fault just can't be overlooked

So I'm reading you your rights, in case you misunderstood

[Verse 3]

(The first time)

A mistake

(Second time)

A bad decision

(Third time)

There won't be one

'Cause I won't let you do that to me

[Verse 4]

(The first time)

A mistake

(Second time)

A bad decision

(Third time)

Honey, dream on

'Cause I won't let you do that to me

[Verse 5]

Don't think I haven't checked out all your alibis

And the evidence concludes

That you're just telling me half the truth

Still, I keep giving you the benefit of doubt

'Cause I fell so deep in love with you

I struggle to get around

[Verse 6]

So, if you wanna be down for me

I'm gonna be down for you

And if twice you break the rules

I've got to move on

You believed your first time

That cost you twenty-five years to life

But I won't wait for a third heartbreak

With my heart, it's only two

[Verse 7]

(The first time)

A mistake

(Second time)

A bad decision

(Third time)

There won't be one

'Cause I won't let you do that to me

[Verse 8]

(The first time)

A mistake

(Second time)

And a bad decision

(Third time)

Honey, dream on

'Cause I won't let you do that to me

[Verse 9]

I don't believe you would mistake me for a fool

So if you're really smart

You'd better think twice before you move

I'll be too busy watching

To hear a word you say

Just don't make that same mistake again

And everything's okay

[Verse 10]

Don't do that baby

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

Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't you do that, baby

Yeah, ooh

[Verse 11]

And here we go

Do that to me

Don't do that to me

Yeah

[Verse 12]

Do that to me

(Breaking my heart)

I can't let you do that, baby

Yeah

Yeah, say it again, say it again

[Verse 13]

(The first time)

A mistake

(Second time)

A bad decision

(Third time)

There won't be one

'Cause I won't let you do that to me

[Verse 14]

(The first time)

A mistake

(Second time)

A bad decision

(Third time)

Honey, dream on

'Cause I won't let you do that to me

[Verse 15]

Me, me, never again

Me, me, never again

To me, to me, to me

Won't let you do that, baby

[Verse 16]

(The first time)

First time, I let you

(Second time)

And the second time I let you but

(Third time)

The third time, baby

Yeah, here we go (I won't let you do that to me)

[Verse 17]

Funky, baby, yeah

No, I won't

No, I won't

I won't let you do that to me
