(Rodney Crowell)

When you look at me
Like you don't know me
And you talk to me
Like you've never met me.

I can leave you alone if I try
If I tried I could tell you goodbye.

If I wanted to
I could be long gone
And I don't have to crawl.

Then you call on me
As if I should run to you
You make your move
as if I should follow you.

Well, I don't have to be nobody's fool
I won't make no exception of you
I don't have to be nobody's fool
I don't make no exception of you.

I don't have to crawl
I can just walk away
No, I don't have to crawl.

I don't have to get down on my knees.

I don't have to crawl
I can just walk away
No, I don't have to crawl...
