Hey fella,
you know me, I'm the clown without the paint on my face.
You got the girl, that I love,
I led her on and now you've taken my place.
Now I'm a -tellin' you all
about my mistakes
Gonna tell you, gonna tell you
If you wanna keep the girl,
don't give a heartache
Don't do what I did
Don't cheat on the girl and tell a lie
Don't do what I did
Don't keep upset, sad and blue
Don't do what I did
Do what I didn't do
All the same things will happen to you
So many times she did my loving
Listen, but I wasn't there to give
I was out like a fool runnin'
around
Overlookin' exactly what she is
Now you be there
to talk to her
And when she down,
give her a little reassurance
Don't do what I did,
don't cheat on a girl and tell a lie
Don't do what I did,
don't keep her upset and sad and blue
Don't do what I did,
do what I didn't do
For the sake of her
happiness you do
If I thought she'd take me back,
I wouldn't tell you how bad
But I know she took so much,
I can't blame her for giving me up
Don't be a sleeper
Oh, if you wanna
keep her
Don't do what I did
Don't keep the only
girl in town alive
Don't do what I did
Don't keep upset, sad and blue
Don't do what I did
Do what I didn't do
Or the same thing will happen
to you
Don't do what
I did,
do what I didn't do
Don't blow your
chance with the woman
Don't do what I did,
do what
I didn't do
Don't
Don't do what I did,
don't make a fool out yourself like I did
Well, I don't do what I did,
I don't do what I didn't do
