The Beatles - You Can't Do That

You Can't Do That
Album: A Hard Days Night (1964)

D
I got something to say that might cause you pain,


If I catch you talking to that boy again,

G D
I'm gonna let you down, and leave you flat.

A7 G D
Because I told you befo--ore you can't do that.

D
Well it's the second time I caught you talking to him,


Do I have to tell you one more time I think it's a sin.

G D
I think I'll let you down, and leave you flat.

A7 G D
Because I told you befo--ore you can't do that.

F#7 Bm Em F#m D
Everybody's gree--een, 'cause I'm the one who won your love,

F#7 Bm Em F#m
But if they'd see--een, you talking that way, they'd laugh in my face.

D
So please listen to me if you wanna stay mine,


I can't help my feelings I go out of my mind,

G D
I'm gonna let you down, and leave you flat.

A7 G D
Because I told you befo--ore you can't do that.
