I'm asking you for a favour
You won't want to do it
But you made me a promise
I'm holding you to it

If you get too close, you're gonna get burned
If you get too close
You'll see the tables have turned

Don't come looking for me
I'll come looking for you

I had a dream about you just the other night
Your hair was braided
I know you really hated it

Walking down the sidewalk
You better take cover
Don't step on a crack if you love your mother

You phoned me from the highway
Said you'd be here Friday
I was waiting in the driveway

All my friends have left me
To go to other cities
I'm looking for some pity

You phoned me from the highway
You said you'd be here Friday
I was waiting in your driveway
And you didn't show up
