From hard luck tricks
To trust fund freaks
Bathroom stalls to penthouse suites

I been around
I been around

From the bottom of the barrel
To the cream of the crop

They've picked me up
And I've watched 'em drop

I been around
I been around

I sang 'em all a song or two
About simple things
Still I feel I'm bein' used
Ain't a damn thing changed

I'm an outlaw
Bad Leroy Brown
The only Cool Hand Luke left in this town
I get my lovin' on the run

I'm a low down
Mister fly by night
Baby slow down
Let me show you right
I sure don't wanna hurt no one

So, don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me you love, love me do
Don't tell me you love me
'Cause love's one thing that I cannot do
And it's the only thing that I can't give to you

From Hollywood hoes to backstage jive
Jacked up trucks and Gulf Stream 5's
I been around
I been around

From silly little girls who play them games
To the rich and famous
I won't say no names
I been around
I been around

You gotta touch the stove to learn they say
Get burnt and learn that way
You better keep your feelings at bay
Or honey you gonna pay

I'm an outlaw
Bad Leroy Brown
I'm the only John Wayne left in this town
I get my lovin' on the run

I'm a low down
Mister fly by night
Baby slow down
I'ma fuck you right
I sure don't wanna hurt no one

So, don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me you love, love me do
Don't tell me you love me
'Cause love's one thing that I cannot do
And it's the only thing that I can't give to you

So, don't tell me you love me
