Don't Do Me Like That By Tom Petty - Cover By Eric Shelman

Loved Petty for years, seen him in concert probably 15 times since the 70's. So it was time for me to do one of my all time faves from the Damn The Torpedoes album. Track one on side two, "Don't Do Me Like That" became one of Petty's most enduring songs.

Lyrics:

I was talking with a friend of mine, said a woman had hurt his pride.
Told him that she loved him so and turned around and let him go.
Then he said, "you better watch your step, or your gonna get hurt yourself.
Someone's gonna tell you lies, hurt you down inside."

Don't do me like that.
Don't do me like that.
What if i love you baby?
Don't do me like that.

Don't do me like that.
Don't do me like that.
What if i love you baby?
Don't do me like that.

Listen honey, can you see? baby, you would bury me
If you were in the public eye givin' someone else a try.
And you know you better watch your step or you're gonna get hurt yourself.
Someone's gonna tell you lies, hurt you down inside.

Don't do me like that.
Dont' do me like that.
What if i love you baby?
Don't do me like that.

Don't do me like that.
Don't do me like that.
What if i need you baby?
Don't do me like that.

'cause somewhere deep down inside
Someone is saying, "love doesn't last that long."
I got this feelin' inside night and day
Wait a minute

Listen honey, can you see? baby, you would bury me
If you were in the public eye givin' someone else a try.
And you know you better watch your step or you're gonna get hurt yourself.
Someone's gonna tell you lies, cut you down to size.

Don't do me like that.
Don't do me like that.
What if i love you baby?
Don't, don't, don't, don't...

Don't do me like that.
Don't do me like that.
I just might need you honey.
Don't do me like that.

Honey!
Don't do me like that.
Don't do me like that.
Baby, baby, baby,
Don't, don't, don't...

No!
Don't do me like that.
Don't do me like that.
Baby, baby, baby...

Oh, oh, oh...
