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
Please don`t do it
Don`t you break by heart
My biggest mistake was lovin` you too much
And lettin` ya know
Now you got me where you want me
And a-you won`t let me go
If my heart was made of glass
Well, then you`d surely see
How much heartaches and misery
Girl, you been causin` me
But I been tryin` to do my best
But I`ve tried to do my best
Don`t do it
Don`t you break by heart
Please don`t do it
Don`t you break by heart
I go down to the river
And there I`ll be
I`m gonna jump in, girl
But you don`t care about me
Open up your eyes
Can`t you see I love ya
Open up your heart, girl
Can`t you see I need ya
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 by heart

My biggest mistake was lovin` you too much

Well, then you`d surely see
How much heartaches and misery
Girl, you been causin` me
But I been tryin` to do my best
A-you know I`ve tried to do my best
Don`t do it
Don`t you break by heart
Please don`t do it
Don`t you break by heart
