Quincy Jones - I Don't Go For That lyrics

Listen up!

Listen up, he just ran out of time
There's no making up
That he took the chance and
Stepped across the line
From the broken heart it left behind
(Went and broke it)

Now he's around, he's got that look again
He heard the sound, of a hungry heart
Just waiting for the fight
Just another link for the chain
There's some that play along
If you know what I mean
‘Cause there just no way to make him see
When he comes down my way I
Know the route he'll take
Something like ‘Baby, please
I'm down on my knees’

Don't go for that
I'm tellin' you that you're wasting your time
Don't go for that
Open your heart and show the signs of that
Don't go for that
You got it all so mixed up in your mind
Don't go for that
The dude don't get it, he just don't get it
I don't go for that

Believe the man
He saw too much to sing about
In a world where the lesson
Is all life like overdue, yeah
Don't that know that's all he can do

He's in another place and I can't understand
I tried so hard to make him see
He still comes 'round my way
To straighten up his face
Whispering ‘Baby, please, ’
Oh, but it's just a tease

Don't go for that, no, no
I'm tellin' you that you're wasting your time
Don't go for that
Open your heart and show the signs of that
Don't go for that
You got it all so mixed up in your mind
Don't go for that
The dude don't get it, he just don't get it
I don't go for that

I won’t go, I won’t
I won’t go, I won’t, won’t, won’t go

Better watch that man, watch that man
Watch that, watch that, watch that man

Baby baby I don't go for that
Baby baby I don't go for that

Don't go for that

I don't go for that

Don't go for that
I'm tellin' you that you're wasting your time
Don't go for that
Open your heart and show the signs of that
Don't go for that
You got it all so mixed up in your mind
Don't go for that
The dude don't get it, he just don't get it
I don't go for that

Shoo-be doo-be doo-bop, bop, bop
