Baby Don't

Patti Scialfa


Baby don't put the sugar on me
Don't talk me up so sweet
Baby 
Don't dress me in your kisses
When they're not mine to keep
Some boys think 
I'm carved out of stone
Guess they're not so smart
'Cause just a few 
Kind words from you
And I fall apart
Oh, yes I do I fall apart

So baby don't
Come around here 
Tossing matches
Oh, no don't you tempt
No baby don't
Make me steal 
A little happiness
At anyone's expense
Do you think 
That I'm carved 
Out of stone
Now don't you go get smart
'Cause just a few 
Kind words from you
And I fall apart
Oh yes I do I fall apart

You better stop 
This little drama
Better drop 
The curtain around it
You may not be 
Looking for trouble
But boy you sure 
Have found it 
(You found it)
So baby don't
Go giving me 
The green light
Oh no don't you do that
No baby don't
'Cause that ring 
Around your finger
This time 
Won't hold me back

I could pretend 
That I'm carved 
Out of stone
So we never start
But just a few 
Kind words from you
And I fall apart
So baby don't
oh no no baby don't
