Please me like you want to

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
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
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
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
