Lyrics
Chorus:
Baby don't be that way
Baby don't be that way
'Cause when you bein' that way
I don't know what to say but
Baby don't be that way
Verse 1:
I try real hard to be a good man
But baby I don't understand
Why you do the things that you do to me
I'm just want us to be carefree
Verse 2:
You treat me like your play thing
pulling on my heart strings
You know that you're my jewel, but you're so cruel,
you play me for the fool
Verse 3:
You're always treating me rough
What I do it's never enough
You don't see what your doin' to me
I just want us to be carefree
Bridge 1:
If you could spend some time
Standing in my shoes
I'm sure that you would see
How hard it is to be your sweet pea
When we can't agree on anything
Bridge 2:
If you could spend some time
Standing in my shoes
I'm sure that you would see
That when I tell you that I love you
I mean it fro my heart
