I was talking with a friend of mine, 
Said a woma n 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 your 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 
Someday I might need you baby 
Don't do me like that 

Listen honey, can you see? 
Baby, you would bury me 
If you were in the public eye 
Givin' someone else a try 
And you know 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, don't, don't, don't... 

Don't do me like that 
Don't do me like that 
What if I need you baby? 
Don't do me like that 

'Cause somewhere deep down inside 
Someone is saying, "Love doesn't last that long." 
I got this feelin' inside night and day 
And now I can't take it no more 

Listen honey, can you see? 
Baby, you would bury me 
If you were in the public eye 
Givin' someone else a try 
And you know 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, don't, don't, don't... 

Don't do me like that 
Don't do me like that 
I just might need you honey 
Don't do me like that 

Wait! 
Don't do me like that. 
Don't do me like that. 
Baby, baby, baby, 
Don't, do n't, don't... 

No! 
Don't do me like that. 
Don't do me like that. 
Baby, baby, baby... 

Oh, oh, oh...
