Ben Harper - Please Me Like You Want To Lyrics



“Please Me Like You Want To”

by Ben Harper

Don't do me any favors

matter of fact why don't you

do yourself a few

your presence ain't nobody's blessing

I've got plenty of other things

I could do

oh no, not another excuse

your tired silly games

for me are just no use

and now it's plain for me to see

you're with somebody

that you don't want to be

so won't you

please please me like you want to

not like you have to

or won't you just go on and leave me

leaving me is the least

that you could do

you could have spared me

so much misery

and told me you just wanted

a friend

believe me there is a difference

when you mean it

and when you pretend

or was I just you habit

cause I know a habit

is a hard thing to break

but won't you spare me

a little mercy

there's only so much

that I can take

but won't you

please please me like you want to

not like you have to

or won't you just go on and leave me

leaving me is the least

that you could do

“Hey Joe”

“Black Book”

by E.y.c.

Hey baby I've been thinking about us

'Cause lately seems like

Something's on your mind

But darlin' in me you can trust

Sometimes the words are hard to find

But I got to tell you I saw you with another

Not just any man but he was my friend

And now I know why you

Wouldn't look me in the eye

So when I tell you this don't be surprised

Today I look you out my black book

I'm not a fool to see how you were treating me

I took you out my black book

We had it going on but now the feeling's gone

I took you out my black book

Black book bye bye baby

I took you out my black book

So baby don't try to change my views

Because I saw the two of you but that's okay

I just turned the page on you

'Cause that's what you made me do

You've been lying sneaking

You've been cheating all this time

I don't need you girl 'cause

A real woman I will find

Who won't play these games

Games games games games

So when I tell you this

Don't be surprised

Today I took you out my black book ...

You've been lying sneaking

(Lying sneaking cheating on me all this time)

You've been cheating on me all this time

(Baby don't you know you disappoint a guy)

I don't need you girl 'cause a

Real woman i will find

(Lying sneaking cheating on me all this time)

Who won't play the games

Games games games games

(Real woman who won't play no games of mine)

So when I tell you this don't be surprised

“Worried about You”

by the Rolling Stones

Sometime I wonder why you do these things to me

Sometime I worry girl that you ain't in love with me

Sometime I stay out late, yeah I'm having fun

Yes, I guess you know by now you ain't the only one

Baby, sweet things that you promised me babe

Seemed to go up in smoke

Yeah, vanish like a dream

I wonder why you do these things to me

Cause I'm worried

I just can't seem to find my way, baby

Ooh, the nights I spent just waiting on the sun

Just like your burned out cigarette

You threw away my love

Why did you do that baby

I wonder why, why you do these things to me

I'm worried

Lord, I'll find out anyway

Sure going to find myself a girl someday

Till then I'm worried

Yeah, I just can't seem to find my way

Yeah, I'm a hard working man

When did I ever do you wrong?

Yeah, I get all my money baby

Bring it, bring it all home

Yeah, I'm telling the truth

Sweet things, sweet things that you promised me

Well I'm worried, I just can't seem to find my way, baby

I'm worried about you

I'm worried about you

Tell you something now

Worried 'bout you, child

Worried 'bout you, woman

Yeah, I'm worried

Lord, I'll find out anyway

Sure as Hell I'm going to find that girl someday

Till then I'm worried

Lord, I just can't seem to find my way

“Trust In Me”

from The Jungle Book

Written by: R. M. Sherman & R. B. Sherman

Performed by: Sterling Holloway [Kaa]

Trust in me, just in me

Shut your eyes and trust in me

You can sleep safe and sound

Knowing I am around

Slip into silent slumber

Sail on a silver mist

Slowly and surely your senses

Will cease to resist

Trust in me, just in me

Shut your eyes and trust in me

“Fooling Yourself”

by Styx

You see the world through your cynical eyes

You're a troubled young man I can tell

You've got it all in the palm of your hand

But your hand's wet with sweat and your head needs a rest

You're foolin' yourself if you don't believe it

You're kidding yourself if you don't believe it

How can you be such an angry young man

When your future looks quite bright to me

How can there be such a sinister plan

That could hide such a lamb, such a caring young man

You're foolin' yourself if you don't believe it

You're kidding yourself if you don't believe it

Get up, get back on your feet

You're the one they can't beat and you know it

Come on, let's see what you've got

Just take your best shot and don't blow it

You're foolin' yourself if you don't believe it

You're kidding yourself if you don't believe it

Get up, get back on your feet

You're the one they can't beat and you know it

Come on, let's see what you've got

Just take your best shot and don't blow it.

“Cold Cold Heart”

by Hank Williams

I tried so hard my dear to show that you’re my every dream.

Yet you’re afraid each thing I do is just some evil scheme

A memory from your lonesome past keeps us so far apart

Why can’t I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart

Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue

And so my heart is paying now for things I didn’t do

In anger unkind words are said that make the teardrops start

Why can’t I free your doubtful mind, and melt your cold cold heart

You’ll never know how much it hurts to see you sit and cry

You know you need and want my love yet you’re afraid to try

Why do you run and hide from lies, to try it just ain’t smart

Why can’t I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart

There was a time when I believed that you belonged to me

But now I know your heart is shackled to a memory

The more I learn to care for you, the more we drift apart

Why can’t I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart
