Lyrics
Please Don't (feat. Santigold)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The world is full of intolerance
Greed, injustice and dominance
A woman, a woman knows, knows relationships
That's why, why I make, make my little trips
So if there's a problem
It's really better this way
Well I don't need the president
I'll get my little bag and say
Please don't
Don't let them look down on us
Please don't
Like they used to do to me
Nixon, Castro, Zhou Enlai
Qaddafi, it's easy and I’ll tell you why
A woman knows just how to do, only rub his leg
He understood my point of view so I don’t have to beg
So if there's a problem
It's really better this way
Well I don't need the president
I'll get my little bag and say
Please don't, please don't
Don't let them look down on us
Please don't, please don't
Like they used to do to me
Ronald Reagan, Mao Zedong
They're all the same
Kissinger, Anwar Sadat
Let me explain
Talk a bit, a little dance
Champagne on ice
An hour or two relationship
We're friends for life
So if there's a problem
It's really better this way
Well I don't need the president
I'll get my little bag and say
Please don't
Don't let them look down on us
Please don't (please don't)
Like they used to do to me
Please don't (please, please don't)
Don't let them look down on us
Please don't
Like they used to do to me
