I'm just a plain ol' country kid and I like to do what's rightBut just like any other boy I like to hold 'em tightSometimes I got resistence, but no matter how I tryWhen a cute little gal just looks at me with a gleam in her eyeAnd I say You better not do that, and she say Why?And I say Because you just better not do thatWhen I was in the country school I always had a girlThey'd laugh and giggle awful cute and put me in a whirlAnd everyday at recess time they followed me outsideI'd scratch my head and wonder are they ever satifiedI'd say Honey, you better not do that and she'd say Why?And I'd say Because you just better not do that(Instrumental Break)When I was a little older, I went to the country danceI went to have a little fun, I wasn't thinkin' about romanceBut the dim lights just lured 'em on and they'd snuggle up to meI knew I couldn't last too long, 'cos I'm human you seeAnd I'd say Baby, you better not do that, and she'd say Why?And I'd say Because you just better not do thatNow that's the way my life has been, ain't it a cryin' shameHow much longer can I last if I keep playin' a gameSometimes I don't know who I am, don't they know what they're doin'I'm afraid in years to come that girls will be my ruinAnd I'll say Now honey, you better not do that, and she'llsay Why?And I'll say You just better not do that, and she'll say Why-y-y?And I'll say Oh...well...oh...aah...oh...well it's alright if you do that
