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 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 baby: walk on by now (lord)
Don't say nothin': walk on by now
Do yourself a favor: walk on by, baby
Don't say nothin': walk on by, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

You didn't even try to understand
Just where I was comin' from, no no, baby (lord)
Instead of understanding, you gave me your demandings
And I couldn't stand it - uh uh, baby (look here)
Now it's much to late and there's no time for me to try
Not anymore - uh uh, baby (check it out mama)
Say, I don't feel no pain, it doesn't hurt inside
But I'm doin' better on my own, so

So if you see me baby: walk on by, lord
Don't say nothin': walk on by baby
Do yourself a favor: walk on by, now
Don't say nothin': walk on by, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Ain't no need to talk to me now, baby
You might as well just a, walk on by now
Do yourself a favor
You might as well pack your bags and get the hell on down the road, 'cause I'm doin' fine
Do yourself a favor
Girl, I've got to let you know
Do yourself a favor
I've got to keep my feet down on the ground, now
Do yourself a favor
