Don't let your baby catch you
Don't let your baby catch you
Don't let your baby catch you
Fooling around
You just might lose the best thing
That you ever found
Don't let your baby catch you
Fooling around.
Oh, the nights are lonely
Twice as cold
Without my baby's hand to hold
My happiness is fading away.
Just like a thief
I tried to steal a kiss
From another pretty miss
My baby was the price that I paid.
Now listen, fellows
(Think twice)
Think twice if you have cheating on your mind
(Watch your step)
Remember
The punishment will fit your crime.
Don't let your baby catch you
Don't let your baby catch you
Don't let your baby catch you
Fooling around
You just might lose the best thing
That you ever found
Don't let your baby catch you
Fooling around.
Oh, I hope that now you let me be
Do right not wrong
In full indeed
I'm gonna crawl back all the way on my knees.
And if that's no use
I'd get to move
And settle down and come to her
Oh, before
I even say please.
If I get one more chance
My life would be as good as you
And I would not forget the days
The sun would not shine through.
Don't let your baby catch you
Don't let your baby catch you
Don't let your baby catch you
Fooling around
Oh, no
Can't you not, can't you not, can't you not, babe
Oh, don't let her
Oh, your baby catch you
You might lose the best thing
That you ever found.
Tell about it, Mike
You're crazy about your baby
And she's crazy about you
Just think of what you'd do to her
If she was untrue.
Don't let your baby catch you
Don't let your baby catch you
Don't let your baby catch you
All right
Don't let your baby catch you
Fooling around
You just might lose the best thing
That you ever found
Don't let your baby catch you
Fooling around.
Don't let it
Don't let it
Don't let it
Stop
Stop
Stop
Don't let your baby catch you
Fooling around
You just might lose the best thing
That you ever found
Don't let your baby catch you
Fooling around.
