DON'T DO IT
Johnny Burnette


If I had a girl that loved me 
Just as much as she loves you 
I'd stay in her arms every doggone day 
& never would be untrue 
You can't win (you can't win) 
Don't do it, my friend 

Well you told her lies & alibis 
You tried to make her think you care 
But when she wants the little bit of love you promised 
She can't find it anywhere 
You can't win (you can't win) 
Don't do it, my friend 

Bridge: 
One of these days you're gonna find yourself 
All alone & oh so blue 
Don't come to me for sympathy 
'Cause it'll be too late 
There won't be a thing I can do for you 

Well you'd better take her in your lovin' arms 
& tell her that you're so ashamed 
Don't try to be smart & break her heart 
'Cause you're gonna play a loser's game 
You can't win (you can't win) 
Don't do it, my friend 

(instrumental) 
(repeat bridge) 
(repeat verse 3) 

(repeat & fade): 
You can't win (you can't win) 
Don't do it, my friend
