Please Me Like You Want To - Ben Harper

Don’t do me any favors

Matter of fact why don’t you do yourself a few

Your presence, it 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 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

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

You know leaving me is the least that you could do

Leaving me is the least that you could do

I said leaving me is the least that you could do
