Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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"
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
'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
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
