Don't Do Me Like That

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 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

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 might need you, honey

Don't do me like that

Listen, honey, can you see?

Baby, you would bury me

If you were in the public eye

Giving someone else a try

So 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

What if I need 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

'Cause somewhere deep down inside, someone is saying

"Love doesn't last that long"

I got this feeling inside night and day

I can't take it no more

Listen, honey, can you see?

Baby, you would bury me

If you were in the public eye

Giving someone else a try

So 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

What if I love you, baby?

Don't do me like that

Don't do me like that

Don't do me like that

Baby, baby, baby

Don't do me like that

Don't do me like that

Don't do me like that

What if I need you, baby?

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

Don't do me like that

Don't do me like that

Baby, baby, baby

Mmm, mmm, mm-mmm
