Don't You Be Like That Lyrics

[Verse 1]
God was talkin' to the Israelites
Said you better not turn aside
Don't imagine I'll be slow to
Turn around and let you go
Then He said you'd better watch your step
Or you're gonna get cursed yourself
Some of those who dwell here might
Push you down the slide

[Chorus 1]
Don't you be like that
Don't you be like that
What did I tell you, baby
Don't you be like that
Don't you be like that
Don't you be like that
Those Canaanites disobeyed Me
Don't you be like that

[Verse 2]
Listen, people, can't you see
Canaanites are very mean
Been doin' things that God despised
Even human sacrifice
And you know you'd better watch your step
Or you gonna get burned yourself
Someone's gonna sell you lies
Once they've found your price
[Chorus 2]
Don't you be like that
Don't you be like that
What did I tell you, baby
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't you be like that
Don't you be like that Canaanite deeds are crazy
Don't you be like that

[Bridge]
Though some will rebel in spite of what He's sayin'
God doesn't pass bad laws
Deuteronomy 18:9 -- don't copy pagans
Leviticus 18 shows more

[Verse 3]
Listen, baby, can't you see
Canaanites were very mean
Kept doin' things that God despised
Even human sacrifice
And you know the Bible on your shelf
Has a born-again verse that helps
Go to Romans 12:2, guys
That's just sound advice
[Chorus 3]
Don't you be like that
Don't you be like that
What did I tell you, baby
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't you be like that
Don't you be like that
Let His light lead you, honey
Don't you be like that
Now quit!
Don't you be like that
Don't you be like that
Baby, baby, baby
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't you be like that
Don't you be like that
Baby, baby, baby
Oh, oh, oh!
