I was talking with a friend of mine
Said a woman had hurt his pride
Told him and 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 a 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 a 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've had this feelin' inside
Night and day

Listen honey, can you see?
Baby, you would bury me
If you're in a 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, no, no
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
Oh, oh, oh, oh
