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 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.
Dont' 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, don't, don't...

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

Oh, oh, oh...
