DON'T LET THAT HAPPEN TO US
(Carl Belew / Clyde Pitts)

Carl Belew & Betty Jean Robinson - 1971



 
CARL:
I'm so happy we're still happy and together
BETTY:
And I'm happy you're still dreamin' dreams of only me
BOTH:
It's too bad the way our neighbour's dreams just crumble into dust
Darlin', let's don't let that happen to us

BOTH:
Darlin', let's don't let us be just two more losers
BETTY: Thanks to our old fashioned love 
CARL:
We both can afford to still be choosers
BOTH:
We've both seen many wedding rings suddenly turn to rust
Darlin', let's don't let that happen to us

CARL: There's so many broken hearts and homes around us
BETTY: But our old fashioned love is always new
BOTH:
We've seen married couples stroll through life without true love or trust
Darlin', let's don't let that happen to us

BOTH:
Darlin', let's don't let us be just two more losers
BETTY:
Thanks to our old fashioned love 
CARL:
We both can afford to still be choosers
BOTH:
We've both seen many wedding rings suddenly turn to rust
Darlin', let's don't let that happen to us
Darlin', we won't let that happen to us
