Lyrics You Can't Do That - Harry Nilsson

My babe don't buy me presents
How can you laugh when you know I'm down?
Beep-beep, beep-beep, yeah

I got somethin' to say that might cause you pain
If I catch you talkin' to that boy again
Gonna let you down (Yes, yes, you're gonna lose that girl)
And leave you flat (Gonna let you down and leave you flat)
Because I told you before (Good day sunshine)
You can't do that (It's a hard day's night)

It's the second time I've caught you talkin' to him (Rain)
I got to tell you one more time I
Think it's a sin (I wanna hold your hand)
Gonna let you down (Yes, yes, you're gonna lose that girl)
And leave you flat (Gonna let you down and leave you flat)
Because I told you before (Good day sunshine)
You can't do that (Day tripper, yeah)

Paperback writer, yeah

Everybody's green (Sha-la-la-oo)
'Cause I'm the one who stole your love
But if it's seen (Sha-la-la-oo)
Me talkin' that way
They'd laugh in my face

So, please listen to me
If you wanna stay mine (Would you like to know a secret?)
I can't help this feelin' (I once had a girl)
I'll go out of my mind (Or should I say)
Gonna let you down (Yes, yes, I'm gonna leave you flat)
And leave you flat (Gonna let you down and leave you flat)
Because I told you before
You can't believe in yesterday

My babe don't buy me presents (How can you laugh? You know I'm down)
Beep-beep, beep-beep, yeah
Strawberry Beatles forever
