Ben Harper - Please Me Like You Want To Lyrics






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 your 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
so much that I can take

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

    The lyrics. Perfection,it's not a sad song. It's beautiful. Because it's clarity. It's habit breaking habit

  13. J.... H....

    I have lots of inspirations Willie nelson , Eric church, dirty heads , jack Johnson, Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, AND BEN HARPER just to name a few I love original thoughts that manifest into beautiful music.

  14. D.... K....

    This song is still so unique.

  15. L.... ....

    Please !

  16. B.... S....

    20 years old, this song. Shame on Radio. I heard it on a NPR station in Detroit when it came out and when the station, WDET. played music for the people.

  17. J.... M....

    just try not to cry while listening

  18. N.... N....

    leavin me is the least you could do.

  19. N.... C....

    Ben would be the friend that gives the advice you gotta do. his music already does it

  20. L.... C....

    m'y idle

  21. H.... M....

    Saw him in 97 at Sheperds Bush Empire, incredible artist

  22. P.... ....

    Trying to find what to say to a significant other. This is it. Every word. Perfect.

  23. G.... C....

    Ben Harper has been one of my "discoveries" while I lived in US....He seems to be the most contemporary talented bluesman. You can see and feel his soul on each of his performances....I regret myself for not finding a concert before leaving United States.....

    G.... C....

    if you are in london in october, he is there on the 26th

  24. D.... ....

    what a talented man and he is virtually unknown to most people. The music industry has been successful is lowering the bar gradually enough that people settle for mediocre crap instead of beautiful ,soulful music like this. How did we let this happen? Boycott the radio. Maybe that will get the powers that be to take notice. don't get me wrong I like plenty of new music but you won't hear most of it on the radio. The record labels pay to get what they want on the radio. Thats how it works. They force feed us Lady Gaga and other crap because they can. We need a music revolution like in the 60's. It could change the world! Unite!

    D.... ....

    Yes, you are completely right! There has been a total manipulation of music...call it a "great dumbing down", but look into the "revolution" of 60's music and how that may have been an intentional "manipulation" as well. The book "Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon" by Dave McGowan may provide a starting point and/or explanation on how we ended up with the disgusting ear garbage presented to the masses that is set on a "loop" for daily intentional "programming"...

    D.... ....

    I am shock that everytime I mention his name people look at me like I come from antoher world

    D.... ....

    it seems music with a very real message has been put aside by the machine because it makes you think and question.

    D.... ....

    yes it is all about profit on people not feeding them of culture

    D.... ....
