Don't do me this way

Don't play my emotions

Don't feed me a line

Or try to make time

With things that you say

Is this love or the fire of desire

Don't do me this way

Don't play with my heart

Don't fool with my feelings

Don't mess with my mind

Or you're gonna find

I'm falling apart

When you smile I see lies in your eyes

Don't play with my heart

Well you can have me if you want me

But you have got to understand

You need to put away all your childish things

And just love me like a man

Don't treat me so mean

Don't try to convince me

Don't tell me I'm gold

Then put me on hold

Like some in-between

It's a crime because I'm in my prime

Don't treat me so mean

Well there is no two ways about it

You've got a charm that's hard to miss

But if you think I'll be dumb and under your thumb

On the strength of just one kiss

You've got another think comin', baby

So don't do me this way

Don't tell me you need me

Don't try to seduce

Or make me feel useless

I'm not gonna play

If you can't be the man with a plan

Don't do me this way

Don't do me this way

Don't do me this way
