Oh, baby, don’t you do it, don’t do it Don’t you break by heart

Please don’t do it Don’t you break by heart

I sacrificed to make you happy

Kept nothin' for myself

Now you wanna leave me For the love of someone else

I cried in my song

Whether I’m right or wrong

I need ya baby

Fer ta keep on keepin' on You know I was tryin' to do my best

I tried to do my best

Don’t do it Don’t you break by heart
