(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
