Your baby loves you now so don't make her blue now
You'd better start bein' true now I'm telling you why

Because if you break her heart somebody's gonna come along
And he'll steal her away from you somebody like me

Let me tell you friend I'm not botherin'
But I think it's such a sin if you don't treat her right

Because if you break her heart

She wants to be held tight now each and every night now
You'd better treat her right now I'm telling you why

Because if you break her heart

I hope you listen to now each word that I've told you now
These things you'd better do now or you will live alone

Because if you break her heart
Will steal her away somebody like me
