"Baby Don't You Do It" lyrics

"Baby Don't You Do It"

Ah, baby, don't you do it, don't do it, baby
Don't you break my heart
Please, don't do it, baby, don't you break my heart
Please, don't you do it, baby

Yeah, I sacrifice to make laughter, kept nothin' for myself
Now you wanna leave me for the love of someone else
I'm tryin' to do my best
Yeah, I'm tryin' to do my best
Don't you do it, don't do it, babe
Don't you break my heart
Please, don't you do it, babe

My biggest mistake was lovin' you too much, and lettin' you know
'Cause now you got me where you want me, and you gonna let me go

My pride is all gone, whether right or wrong
I need you, baby, I'm gonna keep on keepin' on

I'm tryin' to do my best
Yeah, I'm tryin' to do my best
Don't do it, baby
Don't you break my heart now

I go down to the river and there I'll be
I'm gonna jump right in, baby, if you don't see about me
I'm tryin' to do my best
Yeah, I'm tryin' to do my best
Don't do it, baby

Open up your eyes, can't you see I need you?
Open up your heart, can't you see I love you?
I can't go on without you, my life's no good without you
I can't go on without you, my life's no good without you

Yeah, don't you do it
Please, don't do it, baby
Don't you break my heart now
