Ben Harper Lyrics

"Please Me Like You Want To" lyrics


Words and music by Ben Harper

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 that 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, like you have to.
Or won't you just go on and leave me.
You know, leaving me is the least that you could do.
You know, 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.
'cause believe me, there's 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, like you have to.
Or won't you just go on and leave me.
You know, leaving me is the least that you could do.
Leaving me is the least that you could do.
