You Better Not Do That
Navigating Temptations: A Country Boy's Struggle for Righteousness
Lyrics
I'm just a plain ol' country kid and I like to do what's right
I am a simple country person, and I prefer to do what is morally right.
Just like any other boy I like to hold 'em tight
Similar to any other boy, I enjoy holding girls closely.
Sometimes they got resistance but no matter how I tried
Although sometimes there is resistance, I attempt persistently.
Then a cute little gal just looks at me with a gleam in her eye
Then a charming girl looks at me with a twinkle in her eye.
And I'll say honey, you better not do that and she'll say why
I caution her, saying she shouldn't do that, and she questions why.
And I'll say cause you just better not do that
I emphasize that she should refrain from such actions.
When I was in a country school I always had a girl
In my school days, I always had a girl who would laugh and flirt with me.
They'd laugh and giggle awful cute and put me in a whirl
They were charming, causing a whirlwind of emotions for me.
And everyday at recess time they followed me outside
Every day at recess, they followed me, leaving me puzzled.
I'd scratch my head and wonder are they ever satisfied
I wondered if they would ever be satisfied.
And I'd say honey you better not do that and she'd say why
I would warn the girl not to behave in a certain way, and she would ask why.
And I'd say cause you just better not do that
I reiterated that she should avoid such behavior.
Now when I was a little older I went to the country dance
As I grew older, I attended country dances with the intention of having fun and romantic thoughts.
I went to have a little fun I was a thinkin' bout romance
Dim lights enticed me, and girls would get close.
But the dim lights just lured upon and they'd snuggle up to me
Feeling human, I realized I couldn't resist for long.
I knew I couldn't last too long I'm human you see
I would caution the girl not to engage in certain actions, and she would question why.
And I'd say baby you better not do that and she'd say why
I stressed that she should avoid such behavior.
And I'd say cause you just better not do that
Reflecting on my life, I find it to be a lamentable situation.
Well that's the way my life has been ain't it a cryin' shame
I question how much longer I can endure if I continue playing this romantic game.
How much longer can I last if I keep playin' the game
At times, I feel uncertain about my identity, wondering if they are aware of their actions.
Sometimes I don't know who I am do they know what they're doin'
I fear that in the future, women might be my downfall.
I'm afraid in years to come that girls will be my ruin
I repeat the caution to a girl, she questions why, and I reiterate the warning.
And I'll say honey you better not do that and she'd say why
I emphasize that she should avoid such behavior, and she questions why.
And I'll say cause you just better not do that and she'd say why George
I restate the warning, explaining that she should refrain from certain actions, and she questions why, addressing me by name.
And I'll say ah well um it's alright if you do that
I respond casually, suggesting that it's acceptable if she engages in those actions.
