Lyrics If I Don't Get Involved - Bobby “Blue” Bland

Oh my Lord

If I don't get involved
I sure can't get hurt
That's why I'm staying away from you
'Cause I know, yes I know
You're a little heart breaker
If you get a chance, you'll break my whole heart too

If I don't play the game
I sure can't lose
That's why I'm staying in the safety zone
Some folks say that I'm a fool

But I got sense enough
To leave you alone

How many hearts have you broken
Well I guess you lost count long time ago

All those men, the men you hurt
Why some of those fools
Keep running back for more, oh lord

If I don't get involved
I sure can't get hurt
And nothing make real good [sis?] to you
I know YES I know
You're a little heart breaker
If you get a chance
You know you'll break my heart too

How many hearts have you broken
I know you lost count
Long time ago
Of all of the men, all the men you hurt
Why do some of those fools
Keep coming back for more

If I don't get involved
I sure can't lose
And nothing make real good [sis?] to you
Till I find [...?] much for me
You know brother I just rather just stay free

And I'm not going huge for no temptation
No, no
I'm not going for that
I'm not gonna walk in that [chimp?] trap
I'm not going to let you do this to me
Like you did the other men
I will always
I will always
Be your friend
Not your lover

I don't wanna get involved
