You Can’t Do That Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I got something to say that might cause you pain
If I catch you talking to that boy again
I’m gonna let you down
And leave you flat
[Refrain]
Because I told you before
Oh, you can’t do that
[Verse 2]
It’s the second time I’ve caught you talking to him
Do I have to tell you one more time I think it’s a sin?
I think I'll let you down (Let you down)
And leave you flat (Gonna let you down and leave you flat)
[Refrain]
Because I told you before
Oh, you can’t do that
[Bridge]
Everybody's green
'Cause I'm the one that won your love
But if it's seen
You talking that way
They'd laugh in my face
I got something to say that might cause you pain
If I catch you talking to that boy again
I’m gonna let you down
And leave you flat
[Refrain]
Because I told you before
Oh, you can’t do that
[Verse 2]
It’s the second time I’ve caught you talking to him
Do I have to tell you one more time I think it’s a sin?
I think I'll let you down (Let you down)
And leave you flat (Gonna let you down and leave you flat)
[Refrain]
Because I told you before
Oh, you can’t do that
[Bridge]
Everybody's green
'Cause I'm the one that won your love
But if it's seen
You talking that way
They'd laugh in my face
[Verse 3]
So please listen to me if you wanna stay mine
I can’t help my feelings, I go out of my mind
I'm gonna lеt you down (Let you down)
And leave you flat (Gonna lеt you down and leave you flat)
[Refrain]
Because I told you before
N-n-no, you can’t do that
[Bridge]
Everybody's green
'Cause I'm the one that won your love
But if it's seen
You talking that way
They'd laugh in my face
[Verse 3]
So please listen to me if you wanna stay mine
I can’t help my feelings, I go out of my mind
I'm gonna let you down
And leave you flat
[Refrain]
Because I, because I, because I told you before
Oh, you can’t do that
Because I told you before
Oh, you can’t do that
Because I told you before
Oh, you can’t do that
So please listen to me if you wanna stay mine
I can’t help my feelings, I go out of my mind
I'm gonna lеt you down (Let you down)
And leave you flat (Gonna lеt you down and leave you flat)
[Refrain]
Because I told you before
N-n-no, you can’t do that
[Bridge]
Everybody's green
'Cause I'm the one that won your love
But if it's seen
You talking that way
They'd laugh in my face
[Verse 3]
So please listen to me if you wanna stay mine
I can’t help my feelings, I go out of my mind
I'm gonna let you down
And leave you flat
[Refrain]
Because I, because I, because I told you before
Oh, you can’t do that
Because I told you before
Oh, you can’t do that
Because I told you before
Oh, you can’t do that
