Begging For Favors (Learning How Things Work) - Kim Carnes

You can ride in the front

Ride in the back

Or someplace in between

You can say what you mean

But not mean what you say

And wonder if it’s all the same

Funny how when your life turns green

And he’s right there with you

Then it all turns around

When it all comes down

Is somebody lying to you

She won’t be begging for favors

Even with a broken heart

Begging for favors

Even if she’s falling apart

Begging for favors

Begging for favors

Is she out of her head

Out of emotion

Cause he’s not out of her mind

Headphones blaring solitary radio

She’s high on the wire

Down with desire

But she’s not out of design

She’s just learning how things work

Learning how things work

Learning how things work

She won’t be begging for favors

Even with a broken heart

Begging for favors

Even if she’s falling apart

She won’t be begging for favors

She won’t be hanging around

Begging for favors

She won’t be begging for favors

You can ride in the front

Ride in the back

Or someplace in between

You can say what you mean

But not mean what you say

And wonder if it’s all the same

She won’t be begging for favors

Even with a broken heart

Begging for favors

Even if she’s falling apart

She won’t be begging for favors

Even if she’s hanging around

She won’t be begging for favors

She won’t be begging for favors

She won’t be begging for favors
