The Band
Don’t Do It (Studio Version)
[Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 1]
I sacrificed to make you happy
Kept nothin' for myself
Now you want to leave me
For the love of someone else
My pride is all gone
Whether I'm right or wrong
I need you baby
Girl, to keep on keepin' on

[Chorus 2]
And you know I tried to do my best
Well, I 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 (Oh, no)

[Verse 2]
My biggest mistake was lovin' you too much
And lettin' you know
Now you got me where you want me
And you won't let me go, no, no
My heart was made of glass
Well, then you'll surely see
Heartaches and misery
Girl, you've been causin' me
[Chorus 3]
But I've been tryin' to do my best
Well, I 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 (Oh, no)

[Bridge]
Go down to the river
And there I'll be
I'm gonna jump in, girl
'Cause you don't care about me
Open up your eyes, eyes
Can't you see I love you?
Open up your heart, girl
Can't you see I need you?

[Chorus 4]
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

[Verse 3]
My biggest mistake was lovin' you too much
And lettin' you know
Now you got me where you want me
And you won't let me go, no, no
If my heart was made of glass
Well, then you'll surely see
How much heartaches and misery
Girl, you've been causin' me
[Chorus 5]
But I've been tryin' to do my best
And I 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 (Oh, no)
