Beatles - You can't do that

You can't do that
(Lennon/McCartney)

I've got something to say that might cause you pain
if I catch you talking to that boy again
I'm gonna let you down and leave you flat
because I told you before, you can't do that

Well it's the second time I caught you talking to him
do I have to tell you one more time I think it's a sin?
I think I'll let you down (let you down)
and leave you flat (gonna let you down and leave you flat)
because I told you before, you can't do that

Everybody's green 'cause I'm the one who won your love
but if it's seen you're talking that way, they'll laugh in my face

So please listen to me if you wanna stay mine
I can't help my feelings, I go out of my mind
I know I'll let you down (let you down)
and leave you flat (gonna let you down and leave you flat)
because I told you before, you can't do that
(you can't do that, you can't do that)

Everybody's green 'cause I'm the one who won your love
but if it's seen you're talking that way, they'll laugh in my face
