DON'T BOTHER ME
(Carl Phillips)


Carl Phillips - 1966



If you go with him tonight, he's welcome to you
I don't want you coming, running back to me
If I've told you once, I've told you several thousand times
If you can't be mine alone, don't bother me

Don't bother calling me to tell me how he breaks your heart
Don't give me those excuses why you can't just leave him be
Time and time again I've tried to tell you what to do
If you can't leave him behind, don't bother me

If it's true he's always chasing other women
And he don't deserve the love you give so free
Then the best thing you can do, I'll say it one more time
Let him go his way and you stay here with me

Don't bother calling me to tell me how he breaks your heart
Don't give me those excuses why you can't just leave him be
Time and time again I've tried to tell you what to do
If you can't leave him behind, don't bother me
