Prince - Do Yourself a Favor

If you see me walkin' down the street one day
Don't say nothin' to me
No, no, nothin'
'Cause you did me wrong when I was doing bad
So bad, I didn't even think I was gonna make it
Now I'm alone, feelin' free
Freer than the butterfly flyin' high now, yeah yeah, baby
I don't claim no riches or any miracles
But I'm doin' better on my own

So if you see me, walk on by, babe
Don't say nothin', walk on by now
Do yourself a favor, walk on by, yeah
Ooh, don't say nothin', walk on by, yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah

You didn't even try to understand, just where I was comin' from
No, no, baby
Instead of understanding
You gave me your demandings and I couldn't stand it
Uh uh, baby
Now it's much to late and there's no time for me to try, not anymore
Uh uh, baby
Mm, listen
Say I don't feel no pain, it doesn't hurt inside
And I'm doin' better on my own, whoa

So if you see me, walk on by, babe
Don't say nothin', walk on by now
Do yourself a favor, mm, walk on by, babe
Don't say nothin', walk on by, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

Now it's much to late and there's no time for me to try, not anymore
Uh uh, baby
I don't feel no pain, it doesn't hurt inside
And I'm doin' better on my own

So looka here, baby!
If you see me, walk on by now, mm
Don't say nothin', ooh, walk on by now
Just do yourself a favor, yeah, walk on by girl, mm
Don't say nothin', walk on by, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Looka here, don't try to talk to me now, baby
I'm doin' ok, yeah
I'm makin' it on my own, baby, looka here
(Do yourself a favor)
And you know honey, you know I ain't rich or nothin'
I ain't claimin' no miracles, but ah
(Do yourself a favor)
I'm a bachelor now, baby, you know what I'm sayin'? Whoo!
(Do yourself a favor)
Just do yourself a favor, baby, just walk on down the street, uh
(Do yourself a favor)
I ain't got a damn thing to say to you now, baby, look out! Whoo!
(Do yourself a favor)
When we was together, did you try to understand me? No! Uh
(Do yourself a favor)
So just do yourself a favor and get the hell down the road
(Do yourself a favor)
Mmmm
(Do yourself a favor)

Too sexy
Yes, mmm
Somebody call up the colonel, I hear some chicken scratchin'
Good god, yes
Too sexy
Somebody else fall in, I don't care who it is
Just come on, keep it goin', come on
Uh, yes
You like that?
Then come here, sit down
Let me talk to you
You hear that?
That's a 50 dollar bill
When's the last time you seen one of them?
That's what I thought
Let me tell you somethin'
When me and you used to be, me and you used to be together
I didn't have no money in my pocket
That's all different now, that's all different
Now you wanna play, now you wanna play crazy
You're not crazy, you're no crazier than I am
Don't play, don't act like that
You didn't try to understand where I was comin' from back then
Why you tryin' to now?
'Cause you know I got that money, that's why
Uh-huh, yeah
Sit down, don't talk, come here, sit down!

I'll kick your ass
What, you think you bad now? I'll kick your ass
Come here, good God
Mmm
Lord yes
Somebody call up the colonel, I hear some chicken scratchin'
Pow!

If you see me walkin' down the street one day, baby
Don't say nothin'
You used to do me wrong, baby
That's back when I was doin' bad
But now baby, now baby, I got more money than I ever had
Oh lord, yes yes
Do yourself a favor, baby
Take it on down the road
Let that sidewalk hit you where the dog should've bit you, yes baby
Oh lord
Oh lord
Uh

I'll kick your ass
Don't you play crazy with me, I'm, you're not crazy, I'm crazy
I'm the one that's crazy
You're not crazy
Come here
Don't you walk away from me
I don't care what I told you, come back here
You hear me talkin' to you, baby? Come here
