If I Don't Get Involved

My Lord, oh

My Lord, listen

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 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

Nutty as a fruit cake

But I got sense enough

To leave you alone

How many hearts have you broken?

Oh, I guess you’ve lost count long time ago

Of all of the men, the men you’ve hurt

Why do 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 sense to you

I know, yes, I know

You a little heart breaker

If you get a chance, you know

You'll break my whole heart too

How many hearts have you broken?

I know you’ve lost count a long time ago

Of all of the men, all the men you’ve hurt

Why do some of those fools

Keep running back for more? Oh, Lord

If I don't get involved

I sure can't lose

And nothing make

Real good sense to you

I know, yes, I know

You a little heart breaker

If you get a chance, you know

You'll break my whole heart too

Shall I find the right woman for me?

You know what, brother? (Ha)

I just rather just stay free

And I'm not gonna yield

To no temptation, no, no

I'm not going for that

I'm not gonna walk in that chimney trap

I'm not gonna let you do this to me

Like you did the other man

I wanted always, I wanted always

To be your friend

I’d love to be your lover

I don't wanna get involved

No Lord, oh Lord
