You can be mean and
Bounce my ball up and down, but
Don't you push me down.

Don't Ya Tell Henry

Everywhere Bob goes,
Cows, folks say, "Don't tell Henry."
Well? Don't tell him what?

Don't Think Twice, It's Alright

Bitch, you hurt my pride.
I hated you anyway;
I love you, miss you. Bitch.

Don't Start Me to Talkin'

They can't seem to stop.

Don't Pity Me

If you can't love me,
You shouldn't pity me, girl.
It's no substitute.

Let the blues get you.

Uncivilized. Darling please,
Don't be so vulgar.
