Don't do me any favors
Matter of fact why don't you
Do yourself a few
Your presence ain't nobody's blessing
I've got plenty of other things
I could do
Oh, no, not another excuse
Your tired silly games
For me are just no use
And now it's plain for me to see
You're with somebody
That you don't want to be
So won't you
Please, please, me like you want to
Not like you have to
Or won't you just go on and leave me
Leaving me is the least that you could do
You could have spared me
So much misery
And told me you just wanted
A friend
Believe me there is a difference
When you mean it
And when you pretend
Or was I just your habit
'Cause I know a habit
Is a hard thing to break
But won't you spare me
A little mercy
There's only so much
So much that I can take
So won't you
Please, please, me like you want to
Not like you have to
Or won't you just go on and leave me
Leaving me is the least that you could do
