Lyrics
Baby don't you do it, don't do it
Don't you break my heart
Please don't do it, don't you break my heart
A sacrifice would make you happy if nothing for myself
Now you wanna leave me for the love of someone else
My pride is all gone whether I'm right or wrong
I need you baby to keep on keepin' on
You know I'm trying to do my best
Oh, I'm trying to do my best
Don't do it, don't you break my heart
Please don't do it, don't you break my heart
My biggest mistake was loving you too much and letting you know
Now you got me where you want me and you won't let me go
If my heart was made of glass, well, then you'd surely see
How much heartache and misery, girl, you've been causing me
Well, I've been trying to do my best
Well, I've tried to do my best
Don't do it, don't you break my heart
Please don't do it, don't you break my heart
I go down to the river and there I be
I'm gonna jump in girl, but you don't care 'bout me
Open up your eyes
Can't ya see I love ya?
Open up you heart, girl
Can't ya see I need ya?
Oh, baby don't do it, do it, do it
Don't you break my heart
Please don't do it, don't you break my heart (oh, no)
My biggest mistake was loving you too much and letting you know
Now you got me where you want me and you won't let me go
If my heart was made of glass, well then you'd surely see
How much heartache and misery, girl, you've been causing me
Well, I've been trying to do my best
You know I've tried to do my best
Don't do it, don't you break my heart
Please don't do it, don't you break my heart (no)
