You Can't Do That (Take 6)
Author: John Lennon; Lead vocal: John Lennon

(take 6)
[Ah, 1,2,3,4!]

I got something to say that might cause you pain
If I catch you talking to that boy again
I'm gonna let you down
And leave you flat
Because I told you before, oh
You can't do that

Well, it's the second time, I've caught you talking to him
Do I have to tell you one more time, I think it's a sin
I think I'll let you down
And leave you flat
Because I've told you before, oh
You can't do that

Everybody's green
'Cause I'm the one, who won your love
But if they'd seen
You're talking that way they'd laugh in my face

So please listen to me, if you wanna stay mine
I can't help my feelings, I'll go out of my mind
I'm gonna let you down
And leave you flat
Because I've told you before, oh
You can't do that

Everybody's green
'Cause I'm the one, who won your love
But if they'd seen
You're talking that way they'd laugh in my face

So please listen to me, if you wanna stay mine
I can't help my feelings, I'll go out of my mind
I'm gonna let you down
And leave you flat
Because I've told you before, oh
You can't do that
