Baby, Don't You Do It [Live 1978] Lyrics

Baby don't you do it, don't do it
Don't break my heart, please don't do it
Don't ya break my heart

I sacrifice to make you happy
Kept nothin' for myself
Now you want to leave me
For the love of someone else
My pride is all gone, baby right or wrong
I need you, baby, to keep on keepin' on
Baby, I'm tryin' to do my best
I'm tryin' to do my best, don't do it
Don't break my heart, please don't do it
Don't ya break my heart

My biggest mistake was lovin' you too much
I'm lettin' you know
Now you've got me where you want me
And you won't let me go
My heart was made glad when you strolled, you see
How much heartache and misery you've been causin' me
I'm tryin' to do my best
I'm tryin' to do my best
Don't do it, don't break my heart
Please don't do it, don't ya break my heart

Go down to the river and there I'll be
I'm gonna jump in, boy, 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?

Baby don't you do it, don't do it
Don't break my heart, please don't do it
Don't ya break my heart

Baby, Don't You Do It

Give a Little

Baby don't you do it, don't do it
Don't break my heart, please don't do it
Don't ya break my heart
 
I sacrifice to make you happy
Kept nothin' for myself
Now you want to leave me
For the love of someone else
My pride is all gone, baby right or wrong
I need you, baby, to keep on keepin' on
Baby, I'm tryin' to do my best
I'm tryin' to do my best, don't do it
Don't break my heart, please don't do it
Don't ya break my heart
 
My biggest mistake was lovin' you too much
I'm lettin' you know
Now you've got me where you want me
And you won't let me go
My heart was made glad when you strolled, you see
How much heartache and misery you've been causin' me
I'm tryin' to do my best
I'm tryin' to do my best
Don't do it, don't break my heart
Please don't do it, don't ya break my heart
 
Go down to the river and there I'll be
I'm gonna jump in, boy, 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?
 
Baby don't you do it, don't do it
Don't break my heart, please don't do it
Don't ya break my heart

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
