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
