Thanks, But No Thanks (Williams)

Whenever I go out
I bring my money to spend
So I don't need no favors
From no fancy talking men
Thank you for your offer
But I think I'd rather buy my own
You see, I'm not just one of those pickup women
You can buy a drink or two then just take me home

Now, you may be a perfect gentleman
Might not have wrong on your mind
But I want us to have an understanding
So you won't get out of line
Thank you for your offer
But I think I'd rather buy my own
You see, I'm not just one of those pickup women
You can buy a drink or two then take me home

(Solo)

You can't look at someone
And be able to judge the type
I've seen men buy drinks for ladies
And then one wants to start a fight
Thank you for your offer
But I think I'd rather buy my own
You see, I'm not just one of those pickup women
You can buy a drink or two then take me home

Now there are other women
Who's looking for men to spend
Women like that can handle it
Cause their business is tricking men
Thank you for your offer
But I think I'd rather buy my own
You see, I'm not just one of those pickup women
You can buy a drink or two then take me home

Thanks, but no thanks
