I don't want you to be high
I don't want you to be down
Don't want to tell you no lie
Just want you to be aroundPlease come right up to my ears
You will be able to hear what I sayDon't want you out in (part of) my world
Just you be my back street girlPlease don't be part of my life
Please keep yourself to yourself
Please don't you bother my wife
That way you won't get no helpDon't try to ride on my horse
You're rather common and coarse anywayPlease don't you call me at home
Please don't come knocking at night
Please never ring on the phone
Your manners are never quite rightPlease take the favors I grant
Curtsy and look nonchalant just for me
