Baby Don't You Do It

Marvin Gaye

Written by: Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.





Baby don't you do it, don't do it babe

Don't break my heart, don't do it babe

Don't break my heart, please don't do it babe

Don't you break my heart

'Cause I sacrifice to make you happy

Get nothin' for myself

Now you wanna leave me

For the love of someone else

My pride is all gone, whether right or wrong

I believe, baby, you'd better keep on keepin' on

Girl, I try to do my best

Girl, I try to do my best, don't do it babe

Don't break my heart, oh don't do it baby

Don't break my heart



My biggest mistake was lovin' you too much

And lettin' you know

'Cause now you've got me where you want me

And you're gonna let me go

My heart was made glad when you strolled, you see

Heartaches and misery you've been causin' me

Girl, I try to do my best

Girl, I try to do my best

Don't you do it, don't break my heart



Go down to the river and there I'll be

I'm gonna jump in, baby, if you don't see by me

Open up your eyes; can't you see I love you?

Open up your heart; can't you see I need you?

I'm no good without you, can't go on without you

Life's no good without you, what'm I gonna do without you?

Baby don't do it, don't you break my heart

Don't you do it, baby, don't you break my heart

What'm I gonna do without you?

Got to go on, baby

Baby don't you do it

...and fade
