Don't Do Me Any Favors Anymore Songtext
von Steve Goodman

If I had thought just one moment I could take you at your word
I′d let you in on almost anything I see
But you been caught in the act of spreading secrets that you heard
And they got a way of gettin' back to me

Total strangers come and tell me my life story
Telling me where I went wrong
On things I′ve never done before
And it's one kind favor I'd be asking you
Don′t do me any favors anymore


I′ve been accused of being ragged and unholy
I guess I've been called most every name ′cept dead
But it would take ten strong men
A hundred years of running loose and wild
To live up to all the stories that you spread

Total strangers come and tell me my life story
Telling me where I went wrong
On things I've never done before
And it′s one kind favor I'd be asking you
Don′t do me any favors anymore
