I was talkin' with a friend of mine
Said a woman had hurt his pride
Told him that she loved him so, then
Turned around and let him go
Then he said "you'd 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
Someday I'll need ya baby, Don't do me like that

Listen honey can you see, baby you would bury me
if you were in a public eye, givin' someone else a try
And you know you'd 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 sayin'
Love doesn't last that long
I have the feeling inside, night and day
And I can't take it no more

Listen honey can you see, baby you would bury me
if you were in a public eye, givin' someone else a try
And you know you'd 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

Don't do me like that, don't do me like that
Baby baby baby, don't don't don't don't
Don't do me like that, don't do me like that
Baby baby baby, oh oh oh
