About Baby Don't You Do It

"Baby Don't You Do It" is a 1964 single by American singer Marvin Gaye. Released on the Tamla label, this song discusses a man who is at a standstill with his girlfriend, who he feels is neglecting his love stating "Don't break my heart/... I've tried to do my best".

Aah, baby, don't you do it, don't do it babe
Don't break my heart, don't do it babe
Don't break my heart, please don't do it babe
Don't you break my heart

Well, I sacrifice to make you happy, get nothin' for myself
Now you wanna leave me for the love of someone else
My pride is all gone, whether right or wrong
I believe, baby, you'd better keep on keepin' on

Girl, I try to do my best
Girl, I try to do my best, don't do it babe
Don't break my heart, oh, don't do it baby
Don't break my heart

My biggest mistake was lovin' you too much and lettin' you know
'Cause now you've got me where you want me and you're gonna let me go
My heart was made glad when you strolled, you see
Heartaches and misery you've been causin' me

Girl, I try to do my best
Girl, I try to do my best
Don't you do it, don't break my heart

Go down to the river and there I'll be
I'm gonna jump in, baby, you don't see by me

Open up your eyes, can't you see I love you?
Open up your heart, can't you see I need you?
I'm no good without you, can't go on without you
Life's no good without you, what'm I gonna do without you?

Hey, baby, don't do it, don't you break my heart
Don't you do it, baby, don't you break my heart
What'm I gonna do without you?
Got to go on, baby
Baby don't you do it
