I was talkin' with a friend of mine

Said a woman done 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...

CHORUS: Don't do me like that, Don't do me like that

Girl 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'll bury me

You're in the public eye, give 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...

CHORUS

'Cause somewhere deep down inside, someone is sayin'

Love doesn't last that long...

I have the feeling inside, Lord I don't need it

I know I can't take it no more....

Repeat 2nd Verse

CHORUS
