I'm just a country boy
and I like to do what's right
And just like any other boy
I like to hold 'em tight
Sometimes I got resistance
but no matter how I try
When a cute little gal just looks at me
with a gleam in her eye
And I say "Baby, you better not do that"
and she say "Oh, why? "
And I say "Because you just better not do that"

When I went to the country school
I always had a girl
They'd laugh and giggle awful cute
and put me in a whirl
And everyday at recess time they followed me outside
I'd scratch my head and wonder
are they ever satisfied
I'd say "Baby, you better not do that"
and she'd say "Why? "
And I'd say "Because you just better not do that"

I got a little older, and I went to the country dance
I went to have a little fun
I wasn't thinkin' about romance
But the dim lights just lured 'em on
and they'd snuggle up to me
I knew I couldn't last too long
'cos I'm human you see
And I'd say "Baby, you better not do that"
and she'd say "Oh, why? "
And I'd say "Because you just better not do that"
and she'd say "Oh, why? "
