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
