        Don't say you're living
        for somebody new
        Don't say it's over
        I'm begging of you

        Oh no, don't do it
        oh no, don't do it

        Oh no, don't ever take -
        - your love away, without your sweet love
        I couldn't dust a day
        No, no, no

        Thinkin' of the good things
        that we used to do
        Anything you wanted
        I'll give it to you

        Oh no, don't do it
        oh no, don't do it

        Oh no, don't ever take -
        - your love away, without your sweet love
        I couldn't dust a day
        No, no, no

        Oh no, don't ever take -
        - your love away, without your sweet love
        I couldn't dust a day
        No, no

        Oh no, don't do it
        no-no-no-no don't do it
        Oh baby, don't do it ...
