Love's a golden band
  Little hands that have gripped a thousand years
  You thought he was the only man
  As he left you in your December tears
  He don't deserve
  A woman like you
  A man like me
  Needs to show you
  What real love is supposed to be
  Funny how the days of new
  Keep speeding up
  But the nights of old
  Seem like they're slowing down
  Baby don't you cry
  To save the truth
  From coming out
  With words that let him go
  I guarantee he won't be back around
  
  [Chorus:]
  Love don't do
  What he did to you
  Don't you know love was made for two
  Me and you
  Love don't do
  What he did to you
  Love don't leave you in the cold
  Maybe the tale you've not been told
  Story of all he did to you
  Love don't do
  
  Come in from the rain
  Outside take off your coat
  Come over here by the fireplace
  I know baby, I know it feels so bad
  When someone you love
  Comes and leaves your side
  Strange what desire
  Can make people do
  Following foolish pride
  They say you don't really love somebody
  'Til you love them enough to let them go
  Seems these cliches had a reason to be made
  His love came a lifetime too late
  You had to let him know
  
  [Chorus:]
  Love don't do
  What he did to you
  Don't you know love was made for two
  Me and you
  Love don't do
  What he did to you
  Love don't leave you in the cold
  Maybe the tale you've not been told
  Story of all he did to you
  Love don't do
