PLEASE DON'T DO THAT TO ME
(Aaron Schroeder / Ben Weisman / Josephine Peoples)
as recorded by The McGuire Sisters
1957
Take a heart, break a heart,
Make a vow, break a vow,
Do anything, but golly gee,
Please don't do that to me!
Scoot around, do the town,
Disappear, cause a tear,
Do anything, but golly gee,
Please don't do that to me!
Like cotton candy, so fine and dandy,
Ooh, what your sweet kisses do!
My happiness is in your caresses,
My whole life is built around just you!
Share a dream, tear a dream,
Tell a lie, say goodbye,
Do anything, but golly gee,
Please don't do that to me!
Now don't do that to me!
Oh don't do that to me!
Please don't do that,
Please don't do that to me!
Take a heart, break a heart,
But don't do that to me!
Make a vow, break a vow,
Now don't do that to me!
Anything, but golly gee,
Oh don't do that,
No, please don't do that to me!
Like cotton candy, so fine and dandy,
Ooh, what your sweet kisses do!
My happiness is in your caresses,
My whole life is built around just you!
Share a dream, tear a dream,
Tell a lie, say goodbye,
Do anything, but golly gee,
Please don't do that to me!
Please, please don't do that to me,
Don't do that to me,
Please don't do that to me!
