Please Me Like You Want To Lyrics
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
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
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
leaving me is the least that you could do
matter of fact why don't you
do yourself a few
I've got plenty of other things
I could do
your tired silly games
for me are just no use
you're with somebody
that you don't want to be
please please me like you want to
not like you have to
or won't you just go on and leave me
leaving me is the least that you could do
so much misery
and told me you just wanted
a friend
when you mean it
and when you pretend
cause I know a habit
is a hard thing to break
a little mercy
there's only so much
that I can take
please please me like you want to
not like you have to
or won't you just go on and leave me
leaving me is the least that you could do

for anyone who has ever liked someone (in a relationship) more than they liked you..... this song is gorgeous. love music.
I don't know what it is, but Ben Harpers music is amazing. This song, By My Side, Forever, Another Lonely Day, and Please Bleed are all songs with lyrics that say exactly what I was thinking. I don't know how he does it, but it's nice to know I'm not alone.
MWJABBOUR is 100% right. Harper has this ability to write songs that strike to your very soul damn near every time. just unbelievable.
