Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Don't do me any favors
Matter of fact, why don't you do yourself a few
Your presence, it ain't nobody's blessin'
I've got plenty of other things that I could do
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
So won't you please, please me like you want to
Not like, like you have to
Oh, won't you just go on and leave me
You know, leavin' me is the least that you could do
You know, leavin' me is the least that you could do
[Verse 4]
You could have spared me so much misery
And told me you just wanted a friend
Just believe me, there is a difference
Oh, when you mean it, and when you pretend
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
So won't you please, please me like you want to
Not, not like you have to
Oh, won't you just go on and leave me
You know, leavin' me is the least that you could do
Leavin' me is the least that you could do
I said, leavin' me is the least that you could do
