  • Girl you're gettin' that look in your eyes
    And it's startin' to worry me
    I ain't ready for no family ties
    Nobody's gonna hurry me

    Just keep it friendly, girl
    'Cause I don't wanna leave
    Don't start clinging to me, girl
    'Cause I can't breathe

    Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me
    Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me
    'Cause I'll just use you, then I'll set you free
    Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me

    Girl, you're a hot-blooded woman, child
    And it's warm where you're touchin' me
    But I can tell by your tremblin' smile
    You're seein' way too much in me

    Girl, don't let your life get tangled up with mine
    'Cause I'll just leave you
    I can't take no clingin' vine

    Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me
    Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me
    'Cause I'll just use you, then I'll set you free
    Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me

    Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me
    Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me
    'Cause I'll just use you, then I'll set you free
    Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me Writer/s: Mac Davis
