Baby Don't Get Hooked On Me

(album: The Singer - 1972)

Boy, you're getting that look in your eyes
And it's starting to worry me
I ain't ready for no family ties
Nobody's gonna hurry me
Just keep it friendly, boy, 'cause I don't want to leave
Don't start clinging to me, boy, 'cause I can't breathe

Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me
Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me
'Cause I'll just use you then I'll set you free
Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me

Boy, you're a hot blooded man, alright
And it's warm where you're touching me
But I can tell by your trembling smile
You're seeing way too much in me
Boy, don't let your life get tangled up with mine
'Cause I'll just leave you, I can't take, I can't take no clinging vine

Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me
Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me
'Cause I'll just use you then I'll set you free
Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me
