Thanks, But No Thanks

Thanks, But No Thanks (Williams)

Whenever I go out

I bring my money to spend

So I don't need no favors

From no fancy talking men

Thank you for your offer

But I think I'd rather buy my own

You see, I'm not just one of those pickup women

You can buy a drink or two then just take me home

Now, you may be a perfect gentleman

Might not have wrong on your mind

But I want us to have an understanding

So you won't get out of line

Thank you for your offer

But I think I'd rather buy my own

You see, I'm not just one of those pickup women

You can buy a drink or two then take me home

(solo)

You can't look at someone

And be able to judge the type

I've seen men buy drinks for ladies

And then one wants to start a fight

Thank you for your offer

But I think I'd rather buy my own

You see, I'm not just one of those pickup women

You can buy a drink or two then take me home

Now there are other women

Who's looking for men to spend

Women like that can handle it

Cause their business is tricking men

Thank you for your offer

But I think I'd rather buy my own

You see, I'm not just one of those pickup women

You can buy a drink or two then take me home

Thanks, but no thanks
