Words are cheap and I love you's are free So unless you mean it, you don't spend them on me Don't look twice if you're keeping score 'Cause heartaches are high priced and I've paid it before Do me with love, don't do me wrong You know my heart's been broken too long And I've had one too many tears to fall So do me with love, do me with love Or don't do me at all I've taken some wrong roads and I've lost track Of lovers who gave their hearts and then wanted 'em back So I need someone who needs someone too But spare me the memories if you're just passing through Do me with love, don't do me wrong You know my heart's been broken too long And I've had one too many tears to fall So do me with love, do me with love Or don't do me at all Do me with love, don't do me wrong You know my heart's been broken too long And I've had one too many tears to fall So do me with love, do me with love Or don't do me at all Do me with love, do me with love Or don't do me at all
