Steve Goodman - Don't Do Me Any Favors Anymore lyrics

If I had thought just one moment I could take you at your word I'd let you in on almost anything I see But you been caught in the act of spreading secrets that you heard And they got a way of gettin' back to me Total strangers come and tell me my life story Telling me where I went wrong on things I've never done before And it's one kind favor I'd be asking you Don't do me any favors anymore I've been accused of being ragged and unholy I guess I've been called most every name 'cept dead But it would take ten strong men A hundred years of running loose and wild To live up to all the stories that you spread Total strangers come and tell me my life story Telling me where I went wrong On things I've never done before And it's one kind favor I'd be asking you Don't do me any favors anymore
