I Don't Do Duets

(album: Burnin' - 1991)

[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
Mr right turns out to be mr wrong

[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 moving 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:]
Ohh, he's out there singing on his own

[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
