Barbara Hendricks Lyrics
"Duke's Place"

I was talking with a friend of mine
Said a woman had hurt his pride
Told him that she loved him so
Turned around let him go
Them he said, "You better watch your step
Someone's gonna tell you lies
Cut you down to size"

Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
What if I love you baby?
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Someday I might need you, baby
Don't do me like that

Listen honey, can you see?
Baby, you would bury me
If you were in the public eye
Givin' someone else a try
And you know you batter watch your step
Or you're gonna get hurt yourself
Someone's gonna tell you lies
Cut you down to size

Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
What if I love you baby?
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
What if I love you baby?
Don't do me like that

'Cause somewhere deep down inside
Someone is saying, love doesn't last that long
I got this feelin' inside night and day and
And now I can't take it no more

Listen honey, can you see?
Baby, you would bury me
If you were in the public eye
Givin' someone else a try
And you know you batter watch your step
Or you're gonna get hurt yourself
Someone's gonna tell you lies
Cut you down to size

Who
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Baby, baby, baby
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Baby, baby, baby
Ohh ohh ohh
