You Can’t Do That Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I got somethin' to say that might cause you pain
If I catch you talkin' to that girl again
I'm gonna let you down
And leave you flat
Because I told you before
Oh, you can't do that
[Verse 2]
Well, it's the second time I caught you talkin' to her
And it's the second time I caught you bein' a flirt
I think I'll let you down (Let you down)
And leave you flat (I think I'll let you down and leave you flat)
Because I told you before
Oh, you can't do that
[Chorus]
Ev'rybody's green
'Cause I'm the one who won your love
But if it's seen
You talkin' 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'll go out of my mind
I know I'll let you down (Let you down)
And leave you flat (I know I'll let you down and leave you flat)
Because I told you before
Oh, you can't do that, oh!
I got somethin' to say that might cause you pain
If I catch you talkin' to that girl again
I'm gonna let you down
And leave you flat
Because I told you before
Oh, you can't do that
[Verse 2]
Well, it's the second time I caught you talkin' to her
And it's the second time I caught you bein' a flirt
I think I'll let you down (Let you down)
And leave you flat (I think I'll let you down and leave you flat)
Because I told you before
Oh, you can't do that
[Chorus]
Ev'rybody's green
'Cause I'm the one who won your love
But if it's seen
You talkin' 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'll go out of my mind
I know I'll let you down (Let you down)
And leave you flat (I know I'll let you down and leave you flat)
Because I told you before
Oh, you can't do that, oh!
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Ev'rybody's green
'Cause I'm the one who won your love
But if it's seen
You talkin' that way
They'd laugh in my face
[Verse 4]
So please listen to me if you wanna stay mine
I can't help my feelings, I'll go out of my mind
I'm gonna let you down (Let you down)
And leave you flat (I'm gonna let you down and leave you flat)
Because I told you before
Oh, you can't do that
[Outro]
Mmm
[Chorus]
Ev'rybody's green
'Cause I'm the one who won your love
But if it's seen
You talkin' that way
They'd laugh in my face
[Verse 4]
So please listen to me if you wanna stay mine
I can't help my feelings, I'll go out of my mind
I'm gonna let you down (Let you down)
And leave you flat (I'm gonna let you down and leave you flat)
Because I told you before
Oh, you can't do that
[Outro]
Mmm
