If I Don't Get Involved - Bobby Bland

If I don’t get involved

I sure can’t get hurt

That’s why I’m staying away from you

'cause I know, yes I know

You’re a little heart breaker

If you get a chance, you’ll break my whole heart too

If I don’t play the game

I sure can’t lose

That’s why I’m staying in the safety zone

Some folks say that I’m a fool

But I got sense enough

To leave you alone

How many hearts have you broken

Well I guess you lost count long time ago

All those men, the men you hurt

Why some of those fools

Keep running back for more, oh lord

If I don’t get involved

I sure can’t get hurt

And nothing make real good to you

I know YES I know

You’re a little heart breaker

If you get a chance

You know you’ll break my heart too

How many hearts have you broken

I know you lost count

Long time ago

Of all of the men, all the men you hurt

Why do some of those fools

Keep coming back for more

If I don’t get involved

I sure can’t lose

And nothing make real good to you

Till I find much for me

You know brother I just rather just stay free

And I’m not going huge for no temptation

No, no

I’m not going for that

I’m not gonna walk in that trap

I’m not going to let you do this to me

like you did the other men

I will always

I will always

Be your friend

Not your lover

I don’t wanna get involved
