I don't do duets

[Patti:]
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 close as it gets
He said you sure sing pretty, but I don´t do duets
[Gladys:]
Mmmmmm
He walked in the room, and all he had to do was smile
Waiting 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 moving 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 close as it gets
He said you sure sing pretty, but I don´t do duets
[Patti:]
So I wish
[Gladys:]
I wish
[Patti:]
I wish that I could lose my mind
[Gladys:]
That I could lose my mind, just let it go
[Patti:]
For the fateful rarely stay in mind
[Gladys:]
For the fateful rarely stay in mind
[Patti:]
Ohh, he´s out there singing on his own
[Gladys:]
And like me he´s tired
[Patti:]
Like me he´s tired of doing it alone
[Gladys:]
I did it again
[Patti:]
I make him happy
[Gladys:]
I always make the same mistake
[Patti:]
Oh how I love him
[Gladys:]
When it comes to men
[Patti:]
I keep him warm
[Gladys:]
I fall for the guys with the bedroom eyes
[Patti:]
For the rest of his nights
[Gladys:]
It starts out great
[Patti:]
Singing together
[Gladys:]
But before to long
[Patti:]
Singing together
[Gladys:]
Mr right turns out to be mr wrong
Patti:
We forget all those lonely solo nights
[Both:]
Enough of I love you baby, you´re the best I knew
No more I´m not ready, for any one like you
I´m not gonna fall for those lies, those lies and regrets
Not gonna sing so pretty if he don´t do duets
I don´t wanna make the same mistakes again
Not gonna sing so pretty if he don´t do duet
[Gladys:]
This is as far as it goes
[Both:]
Not gonna sing so pretty if he don´t do duets
Enough is enough baby
Not gonna sing so pretty if he don´t do duets
Not gonna sing so pretty if he don´t do duets
[Patti:]
No more no more no more no more no more
[Both:]
Not gonna sing so pretty if he don´t do duets
I did it again, I always make the same mistake
