Besedila: Patti LaBelle. Burnin'. I Don't Do Duets (Duets With Gladys Knight).


I did it again
I always make the same mistake
When it comes to men,
I fall for the guys with the bedroom eyes
It starts out great,
But before too long
Mr. Right turns out to be Mr. Wrong

He says, "I love you baby,
You're the best I ever knew
But I'm not ready for anyone like you
This is as far as it goes,
And as close as it gets."
He says, "You sing so pretty,
But I don't do duets!"

He walked in the room
And all he had to do was smile
Waitin' in his arms
A fool would have known was a danger zone
His talk was sweet
But let there be no doubt,
That while I was movin' in, he was movin' out

He said, "I love you baby,
You're the best I ever knew
But I'm not ready for anyone like you
This is as far as it goes,
And as close as it gets."
He said, "You sing so pretty,
But I don't do duets!"

(I) wish that I could lose my mind
For the faithful, ready, steady kind
He's out there singin' on his own
And like me, he's tired of doin it alone

I did it again,
I always make the same mistake
When it comes to men
I fall for the guys with the bedroom eyes
It starts out great,
But before too long,
Mr. Right turns out to be Mr. Wrong

I'll make him happy
Oh, how I'll love him
I'll keep him warm

The rest of his nights
Clinging together
Singing together
We'll forget al those lonely
Solo flights

Enough of: "I love you baby,
You're the best I ever knew
No more: "I'm not ready for anyone like you."
Not gonna fall for those lines,
The lies and regrets
Not gonna sing so pretty
If he Don't do Duets!
