Question
I thought it was Ronnie Milsap that sang this song but can't even remember the name. Only thing I can remember are a few lines... If you don't want me to, try to tell me.It's so easy loving you, like it should be...   can't remember the next line, then it says something like.. don't tease me, try to please me. Do you have any idea who sings this song and the name of the song? I am going nuts.  

Answer
Hello Gin,

You're right. It was Ronnie Milsap. The song is called "If You Don't Want Me To".


Don’t tempt me with your eyes
Or fill my heart with lies
If you don’t really want me to
And say, say what’s on your mind
Just give me some kind of sign
To let me know what I'm supposed to do

‘Cos if you don’t want me to
Then tell me
It’s too easy loving you
Like it should be
If you don’t want me to
Don’t tease me, don’t tease me
Try to please me

The way, the way you say good night
Makes me want to stay each time
Girl, you know I’m really wanting you
Marry-Go-Round
You get me so high off the ground
Now don’t you go and let me down
Girl you don’t know what I'm going through
I’m so all over you

So, if you don’t want me to
Then tell me
It’s too easy loving you
Like it should be
If you don’t want me to
Don’t tease me, don’t tease me
Try to please me

If you don’t want me to (If you don’t want me to)
Then tell me
It’s too easy loving you
Like it should be
If you don’t want me to (If you don’t want me to)
Don’t tease me, don’t tease me
Try to please me

If you don’t want me to (If you don’t want me to)
Just tell me
It’s so easy loving you
Like it should be
Tell me what I should do (If you don’t want me tp)
Don’t tease me, don’t tease me
Try to please me

If you don’t want me to (If you don’t want me to)
Just tell me
It’s so easy loving you
Like it should be
Tell me what I should do (If you don’t want me to)
Don’t tease me, don’t tease me
Try to please me


Glad to be of help. Cheers........Mel.

I have been hooked on Country music since first hearing Jim Reeves in the late 50s. Two of the greatest nights of my life were seeing The Mavericks and Reba McEntire live in London. I am more at home with traditional Country music, but am happy to try and help with any questions relating to songs up to 2000. Please note that I DO NOT have the same knowledge about country music videos or singers private lives.
