Don’t Do Me No Favours

Y’know I fell on hard times
Bad luck fell on me
Pay day fell on Friday
And that’s a distant memory
But don’t do me no favours
Just you let me live and learn
Don’t you do me no favours
That I can’t do in return

Save your good intentions
For someone you can trust
Cos once you hand it over
You won’t see me for dust
So don’t do me no favours
Just you let me live & learn
Don’t you do me no favours
That I can’t do in return

I never made a promise
Unless it could be kept
Appreciate your offer
But afraid I can’t accept
Put your hand back in your pocket
I got my pride you know
And if I put my hand out
It was just to say hello

So don’t do me no favours
Just you let me live and learn
Don’t you do me no favours
That I can’t do in return
