Begging for Favors (Learning How Things Work) Songtext
von Kim Carnes

You can ride in the front
Ride in the back
Or someplace in between
You can say what you mean
But not mean what you say
And wonder if it′s all the same

Funny how when your life turns green
He's right there with you
Then it all turns around
When it all comes down
Is somebody lying to you?

She won′t be begging for favors (favors)
Even with a broken heart
Begging for favors (favors)
Even if she's falling apart
Begging for favors (favors)
Begging for favors


Is she out of her head?
Out of emotion?
'Cause he′s not out of her mind
Oh, the headphones blaring solitary radio

She′s high on the wire
Down with desire
But she's not out of design
She′s just learning how things work
Learning how things work
Learning how things work

She won't be begging for favors (favors)
Oh, even with a broken heart
Begging for favors (favors)
Even if she′s falling apart
She won't be begging for favors (favors)
She won′t be hanging around
Begging for favors (favors)
She won't be begging for favors


You can ride in the front
Ride in the back
Or someplace in between
You can say what you mean
But not mean what you say
And wonder if it's all the same

She won′t be begging for favors (favors)
Even with a broken heart
Begging for favors (favors)
Even if she′s falling apart
She won't be begging for favors (favors)
Even if she′s hanging around
She won't be begging for favors (favors)
She won′t be begging for favors

She won't be begging for favors
