.

I got something to say that might cause you pain

If I catch you talking to that boy again

I'm gonna let you down

and leave you flat

Because I told you before

oh, you can't do that

.

Well it's the second time I've caught you talking to him

Do I have to tell you one more time I think it's a sin

I think I'll let you down

and leave you flat

Because I told you before

oh, you can't do that

.

Everybody's green

'cause I'm the one who won your love

But if they'd seen

you talking that way

they'd laugh in my face

.

So please listen to me if you want to stay mine

I can't help this feeling I'll go out of my mind

You know I'll let you down

and leave you flat

Because I told you before

oh, you can't do that, wah

.

Everybody's green

'cause I'm the one who won your love

But if they'd seen

you talking that way

they'd laugh in my face

.

So please listen to me if you want to stay mine

I can't help this feeling I'll go out of my mind

You know I'll let you down

and leave you flat

Because I told you before

oh, you can't do that
