Lyrics If I Don't Get Involved - Bobby Bland

If I Don't Get Involved

If I don’t get involved
I sure can’t get hurt
That’s why I’m staying away from you
'cause I know, yes I know
You’re a little heart breaker
If you get a chance, you’ll break my whole heart too
If I don’t play the game
I sure can’t lose
That’s why I’m staying in the safety zone
Some folks say that I’m a fool
But I got sense enough
To leave you alone
How many hearts have you broken
Well I guess you lost count long time ago
All those men, the men you hurt
Why some of those fools
Keep running back for more, oh lord
If I don’t get involved
I sure can’t get hurt
And nothing make real good to you
I know YES I know
You’re a little heart breaker
If you get a chance
You know you’ll break my heart too
How many hearts have you broken
I know you lost count
Long time ago
Of all of the men, all the men you hurt
Why do some of those fools
Keep coming back for more
If I don’t get involved
I sure can’t lose
And nothing make real good to you
Till I find much for me
You know brother I just rather just stay free
And I’m not going huge for no temptation
No, no
I’m not going for that
I’m not gonna walk in that trap
I’m not going to let you do this to me
like you did the other men
I will always
I will always
Be your friend
Not your lover
I don’t wanna get involved
