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

Don't Do Me Any Favors Anymore

f I thought for 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
(chorus)
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 of 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 except dead;
but it would take ten strong men
a hundered years of running loose and wild
to live up to all the stories that you spread.
(chorus)
