Don't you do it, don't you break my heart
Oh baby, don't you do it, darlin'
Don't you break my heart
Don't you do it, baby
Don't you break my heart
Well, 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, whether right or wrong
I need you, baby, girl, to keep on keepin' on
Girl, I tried to do my best
Tried and tried to do my best
Don't you do it, baby
Don't you break my heart
Oh, don't you do it, baby
My biggest mistake was lovin' you too much
And lettin' you know
'Cause now you've got me where you want me
And you wanna let me go
If my heart was made glass, then you'll surely see
Heartaches and misery, girl, you've been causin' me
Girl, I tried to do my best
Tried and tried to do my best
Don't you do it, darlin', don't you break my heart
Oh, don't you do...
Go down to the river, and, and there I'll be
Well, I'm gonna jump in, darlin', if you don't see by me
Open up your eyes; can't you see I love you, love you, love you?
Open up your heart, darlin'; can't you see I need you, baby?
I'm no good without you, just can't do without you
Stevie's no good without you, life's no good without you
Hey, baby, don't do it, oh, don't you break my heart, ha
Don't do without you, can't be without you
Oh baby, don't you do it, darlin'
Don't you break my heart
Don't you do it, baby
Don't you break my heart
Well, 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, whether right or wrong
I need you, baby, girl, to keep on keepin' on
Girl, I tried to do my best
Tried and tried to do my best
Don't you do it, baby
Don't you break my heart
Oh, don't you do it, baby
My biggest mistake was lovin' you too much
And lettin' you know
'Cause now you've got me where you want me
And you wanna let me go
If my heart was made glass, then you'll surely see
Heartaches and misery, girl, you've been causin' me
Girl, I tried to do my best
Tried and tried to do my best
Don't you do it, darlin', don't you break my heart
Oh, don't you do...
Go down to the river, and, and there I'll be
Well, I'm gonna jump in, darlin', if you don't see by me
Open up your eyes; can't you see I love you, love you, love you?
Open up your heart, darlin'; can't you see I need you, baby?
I'm no good without you, just can't do without you
Stevie's no good without you, life's no good without you
Hey, baby, don't do it, oh, don't you break my heart, ha
Don't do without you, can't be without you
