please people please
charlie worsham
i've worn suits that didn't suit me
shook hands i wouldn't shake
turned screws that only screwed me
took pills i wouldn't take
it's a hard one to swallow but i'm done trying to follow the path
from now on i'll be choosin' based on what i feel
if the target is shootin' for ya
might as well give your pistols back
you can beg so pretty from your knees
but you can't please people
you'll draw blood from a trunip
eat a bowl of rainbow stew
'fore you satisfy 'em all
with the way that you do you
debbie downer ain't your friend
don't let nothin' break your smile
there will always be someone to criticize your style
cuttin' other people down is a means to a miserable end
you can beg so pretty from your knees
but you can't please people
come on everybody listen to me
even jesus was preachin' on the mountainside
tryna teach us about love
we went and crucified him
someone's always gotta take offence
you can beg so pretty from your knees
but you can't please people
why won't everybody listen to me?
