Text: Jon B. Bonafide. Love Don't Do.

Verse 1
Love's golden band
Little hands that have gripped a thousand years
You thought he was the only man
As he left you in your December tears
He don't deserve
A woman like you
A man like me
Needs to show you what
A real love is supposed to be

Funny how the days of new
Keep speeding up
But how the night of old
Seem like they're slowing down
Really don't you cry
To save the truth
From coming out
With words that let him go
I guarantee he won't be back around

Chorus
Love don't do
What he did to you
Don't you know love was made for two
Me and you
Love don't do
What he did to you
Love don't leave you in the cold
Maybe the tale you've not been told
Story of all he did to you
Love don't do
(Love don't do)

Verse 2
Come in from the rain
Outside take off your coat
Come over here by the fireplace
I know baby, I know it feels so bad
When someone you love
Up and leaves your side
Strange what desire
Can make people do
Following foolish pride

They say you don't really love somebody
Until you love them enough to let 'em go
Seems these cliches had a reason to be made
His love came a lifetime too late
You had to let him know

Chorus
Love don't do
What he did to you
Don't you know love was made for two
Me and you
Love don't do
What he did to you
Love don't leave you in the cold
Maybe the tale you've not been told
Story of all he did to you
Love don't do

Bridge
You weren't meant to live alone
Set your mind at ease baby
Don't drive yourself crazy
Love was meant for two
I know it's me and you

Chorus
Love don't do
What he did to you
Don't you know love was made for two
Me and you
Love don't do
What he did to you
Don't you know love was made for two
Me and you

Chorus
Love don't do
What he did to you
Don't you know love was made for two
Me and you
Love don't do
What he did to you
Don't you know love was made for two
Me and you

Don't you know I want to be there
Cause love cuts through
And you know all the things in love
Things he did
Love don't do
