(John Fogerty/Tom Fogerty)


I knew a pretty little girl

with no love to give

I wouldn't do that, I wouldn't do that

So I followed her home

just to see where she lives

I wouldn't do that, I wouldn't do that

I walked right up

and I knocked on her door

I wouldn't do that, I wouldn't do that

So I asked her for a date

could I see you some more

I wouldn't do that, I wouldn't do that


[Chorus:]

Cause she's a fragile child

Yeah she's a fragile child

Oh she's a fragile child

Better leave her alone


I took her out on the town

Just to have a little fun

I wouldn't do that, I wouldn't do that

But it wasn't very long

I found that she's the same one

I wouldn't do that, I wouldn't do that

I thought I'd push my luck

And I held her hand

I wouldn't do that, I wouldn't do that

She told me ever so polite

Go and see her old man

I wouldn't do that, I wouldn't do that


[Chorus x2]
