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
