Baby don't you do it, don't do it
Don't break my heart, please don't do it
Don't ya break my heart

I sacrifice to make you happy
Kept nothin' for myself
Now you wanna leave me
For the love of someone else
My pride is all gone, baby right or wrong
I need you, baby, to keep on keepin' on
Baby, I'm tryin' to do my best
I'm tryin' to do my best, don't do it
Don't break my heart, please don't do it
Don't ya break my heart

My biggest mistake was lovin' you too much
I'm lettin' you know
Now you've got me where you want me
And you won't let me go
My heart was made glad when you strolled
You see how much heartache and misery
You've been causin' me
I'm tryin' to do my best
I'm tryin' to do my best
Don't do it, don't break my heart
Please don't do it, don't ya break my heart
Go down to the river and there I'll be
I'm gonna jump in, boy
If you don't see by me
Open up your eyes can't you see I love you?
Open up your heart can't you see I need you?

Baby don't you do it, don't do it
Don't break my heart, please don't do it
Don't ya break my heart
