I was talking with a friend of mine
Said a woman had heard his cry
Told him that she loved him so and
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
Well 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 were very mean
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
Well I love you baby
Don't, don't, don't, don't...

Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Well 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 the feelin' inside, night out and day in
I never can take it no more

Listen honey, can't you see
Baby, you were very mean
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
Well 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 ya, 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!
