I Don't Do Duets Lyrics - Patti Labelle

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 

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 as close as it gets" 

He said, "You sure sing pretty but I don't do duets" 

He walked in the room and all he had to do was smile 

Waitin' 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 movin' in, he was movin' out 

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 as close as it gets" 

He said, "You sure sing pretty but I don't do duets" 

Said I wish that I could lose my mind 

For the faithful, ready, steady kind 

He's out there singin' on his own 

And like me, he's tired of doin' it alone, oh yes he is 

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 

Enough of, "I love you baby, you're the best I ever knew 

No more, "I'm not ready for anyone like you" 

Not gonna fall for those lines, the lies and regrets 

Not gonna sing so pretty, if he don't do duets 

I don't wanna make the same mistake again 

Not gonna sing so pretty, if he don't do duets 

Not gonna sing so pretty, if he don't do duets 

Not gonna sing so pretty, if he don't do duets 

Not gonna sing so pretty, if he don't do duets 

Not gonna sing so pretty, if he don't do duets 

Not gonna sing so pretty, if he don't do duets
