Lyrics

[Intro]

Do-do-do

Oh, whoa-oh, oh

Do-do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do-do

[Verse 1]

Every day, I hear a different story

People sayin' that you're no good for me

Saw your lover with another, and she's makin' a fool of you, oh

[Verse 2]

If you loved me, baby, you would deny it

But you laugh and tell me I should try it

Tell me I'm a baby, and I don't understand

[PreChorus]

But you know that I'll forgive you

Just this once, twice, forever

'Cause baby, you could drag me to hell and back

Just as long as we're together

And you do

[Chorus]

I don't want your freedom

I don't want to play around

I don't want nobody, baby

Part time love just brings me down

I don't need your freedom

Girl, all I want right now is you

[Refrain]

Do-do-do

Whoa-oh, yeah

Do-do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do-do

[Verse 3]

Like a prisoner who has his own key

But I can't escape until you love me

I just go from day to day knowing all about the other boys

You take my hand and tell me I'm a fool to

Give you all that I do

I bet you someday, baby, someone says the same to you

[PreChorus]

But you know that I'll forgive you

Just this once, twice, forever

'Cause baby, you could drag me to hell and back

Just as long as we're together

And you do, oh

[Chorus]

I don't want your freedom

I don't want to play around

I don't want nobody, baby

Part time love just brings me down

I don't want your freedom

Girl, all I want right now is you

[Refrain]

Do, do, do (Can't you see you're hurtin' me?)

Oh-whoa, yeah (Ah-ah)

Do-do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do-do

[Bridge]

Hurtin' me, baby, hurtin' me, baby (Oh)

Do-do-do, do-do-do-do

Do-do-do, do-do-do-do

Do-do-do, do-do-do-do

Do-do-do, do-do-do-do

Hurtin' me, baby, hurtin' me, baby

[PreChorus]

But you know that I'll forgive you

Just this once, twice, forever

'Cause baby, you could drag me to hell and back

Just as long as we're together

And you do, oh

[Chorus]

I don't want your freedom

I don't need to play around

I don't want nobody, baby

Part time love just brings me down

[Chorus]

I don't want your freedom

I don't want to play around

I don't want nobody, baby

Part time love just brings me down

[Outro]

I don't want your (I don't want your)

I don't want your (I don't want your)

I don't want your (I don't want your)

I don't want your, whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (I don't want your)
