 My biggest mistake was lovin' you too much, and lettin' you know
 'Cause now you got me where you want me, and you gonna let me go
 
 My pride is all gone, whether right or wrong
 I need you, baby, I'm gonna keep on keepin' on
 
 I'm tryin' to do my best
 Yeah, I'm tryin' to do my best
 Don't do it, baby
 Don't you break my heart now
 
 I go down to the river and there I'll be
 I'm gonna jump right in, baby, if you don't see about me
 I'm tryin' to do my best
 Yeah, I'm tryin' to do my best
 Don't do it, baby
 
 Open up your eyes, can't you see I need you?
 Open up your heart, can't you see I love you?
 I can't go on without you, My life's no good without you
 I can't go on without you, My life's no good without you
 
 Yeah, don't you do it
 Please, don't do it, baby
 Don't you break my heart now
