Lyrics Patti LaBelle – I Don’t Do Duets

Patti:
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

Chorus: Patti
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

Gladys:
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

Chorus: together

Patti:
So I wish

Gladys:
I wish

Patti:
I wish that I could lose my mind

Gladys:
That I could lose my mind, just let it go

Patti:
For the fateful rarely stay in mind

Gladys:
For the fateful rarely stay in mind

Patti:

Gladys:
And like me he’s tired

Patti:
Like me he’s tired of doing it alone

Gladys:
I did it again

Patti:
I make him happy

Gladys:
I always make the same mistake

Patti:
Oh how I love him

Gladys:
When it comes to men

Patti:
I keep him warm

Gladys:
I fall for the guys with the bedroom eyes

Patti:
For the rest of his nights

Gladys:
It starts out great

Patti:
Singing together

Gladys:
But before to long

Patti:
Singing together

Gladys:
Mr right turns out to be mr wrong

Patti:
We forget all those lonely solo nights

Both:
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

Gladys:
This is as far as it goes

Both:
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

Patti:
No more no more no more no more no more

Both:
Not gonna sing so pretty if he don’t do duets
