Duke's Place - Barbara Hendricks, Monty Alexander Trio

I was talking with a friend of mine

Said a woman had hurt his pride

Told him that she loved him so

Turned around let him go

Them he said, «You better watch your step

Someone’s gonna tell you lies

Cut you down to size»

Don’t do me like that

Don’t do me like that

What if I love you baby?

Don’t do me like that

Don’t do me like that

Don’t do me like that

Someday I might need you, baby

Don’t do me like that

Listen honey, can you see?

Baby, you would bury me

If you were in the public eye

Givin' someone else a try

And you know you batter watch your step

Or you’re gonna get hurt yourself

Someone’s gonna tell you lies

Cut you down to size

Don’t do me like that

Don’t do me like that

What if I love you baby?

Don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t

Don’t do me like that

Don’t do me like that

What if I love you baby?

Don’t do me like that

'Cause somewhere deep down inside

Someone is saying, love doesn’t last that long

I got this feelin' inside night and day and

And now I can’t take it no more

Listen honey, can you see?

Baby, you would bury me

If you were in the public eye

Givin' someone else a try

And you know you batter watch your step

Or you’re gonna get hurt yourself

Someone’s gonna tell you lies

Cut you down to size

Who

Don’t do me like that

Don’t do me like that

Baby, baby, baby

Don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t

Don’t do me like that

Don’t do me like that

Baby, baby, baby

Ohh ohh ohh
