Don't Do Me No Favours

You know I fell on hard times
Bad luck fell on me
Well now, payday fell on Friday
That's a distant memory

But don't you do me no favor
Well, just you let me live and learn
Said don't you do me no favor
Work that I can't do in return
No, no, no, no

Well, save your good intentions
For somebody you can trust
'Cause once you hand it over
You know you won't see me for dust

So don't you do me no favor
Well, just you let me live and learn
I said don't you do me no favor
Work that I can't do in return
No, no, no, no, no

Well, I never made a promise
Unless it could be kept
I appreciate your offer
But I'm 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 you do me no favor
Yeah, just you let me live and learn
Said don't you do me no favor
Work that I can't do in return
No, no, no, no, no

Now don't you do me no favor
Well, just you let me live and learn
Said don't you do me no favor
Work that I can't do in return
No, no, no, no, no
