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

oh oh oh no baby don't
