Lyrics I Don't Do Duets - Patti LaBelle, Gladys Knight

I Don't Do Duets

I did it again, I always make the same mistake
When it comes to men, I fall for the guys with the bedroom eyes
It starts out great, but before too long
Mr right turns out to be mr wrong
He said I love you baby, you’re the best I ever knew
But I’m not ready, for anyone like you
This is as far as it goes, and close as it gets
He said you sure sing pretty, but I don’t do duets
Mmmmmm
He walked in the room, and all he had to do was smile
Waiting in his arms a fool would have known, was a danger zone
His talk was so sweet, but let there be no doubt
While I was moving in, he was movin' out
So I wish
I wish
I wish that I could lose my mind
That I could lose my mind, just let it go
For the fateful rarely stay in mind
For the fateful rarely stay in mind
Ohh, he’s out there singing on his own
And like me he’s tired
Like me he’s tired of doing it alone
I did it again
I make him happy
I always make the same mistake
Oh how I love him
When it comes to men
I keep him warm
I fall for the guys with the bedroom eyes
For the rest of his nights
It starts out great
Singing together
But before to long
Singing together
Mr right turns out to be mr wrong
Patti:
We forget all those lonely solo nights
Enough of I love you baby, you’re the best I knew
No more I’m not ready, for any one like you
I’m not gonna fall for those lies, those lies and regrets
Not gonna sing so pretty if he don’t do duets
I don’t wanna make the same mistakes again
Not gonna sing so pretty if he don’t do duet
This is as far as it goes
Not gonna sing so pretty if he don’t do duets
Enough is enough baby
Not gonna sing so pretty if he don’t do duets
Not gonna sing so pretty if he don’t do duets
No more no more no more no more no more
Not gonna sing so pretty if he don’t do duets
