YOU CAN'T DO THAT (By Lennon/McCArtney, 1964. Sung by John)

I got something to say that might cause you pain

if I catch you talking to that boy again

I'm gonna let you down

and leave you flat

because I told you before

oh you can't do that.

 

Well it's the second time I've caught you talking to him

do I have to tell you one more time, I think it's a sin

I think I'll let you down

(let you down), and leave you flat

(gonna let you down and leave you flat)

because I told you before

oh you can't do that.

 

Everybody's green

'cause I'm the one who won your love

but if it's seen

you're talking that way

they'd laugh in my face.

 

So please listen to me if you wanna stay mind

I can't help my feelings, I'll go out of my mind

I know I'll let you down

(I'll let you down) and leave you flat

(gonna let you down and leave you flat)

because I've told you before

oh you can't do that.

 

Everybody's green

'cause I'm the one who won your love

but if it's seen

you're talking that way

they'd laugh in my face.

 

So please listen to me if you wanna stay mine

I can't help my feelings, I'll go out of my mind

I know I'll let you down

(let you down) and leave you flat

(gonna let you down and leave you flat)

because I've told you before

oh you can't do that.
