Don't Do Me Any Favors

You offer your assistance
But you won't accept my help
You draw your own conclusions
And there's room for little else
Your own participation's
Based on how much you can lose
I cannot help but feel
That this won't be of any use
Don't offer me your credit
Cuz I do not want the blame
Don't do me any favors
I don't wanna play that game
I do not want to see myself
As someone that you saved
I'd rather be your adversary
Than to be your slave
Cuz every friendly gesture
Turns my stomach inside out
Don't do me any favors
I am better off without
Don't offer me your credit
Cuz I do not want the blame
Don't do me any favors
I don't want to know your name
But it's alright
Yes it's alright
Yes its alright
Yes its alright
Yes it's alright
Don't offer me your credit
Cuz I do not want the blame
Don't do me any favors
I don't want to know your name
Don't do me any favors
Don't do me any favors
Don't do me any favors
Coz it's alright
Yes, it's alright etc
Ooh-don't give me any credit
Cuz I do not want the blame
Don't do me any favours
I don't want to see your face
But it's alright
Yes it's alright
But you won't accept my help
You draw your own conclusions
And there's room for little else
Your own participation's
Based on how much you can lose
I cannot help but feel
That this won't be of any use
Don't offer me your credit
Cuz I do not want the blame
Don't do me any favors
I don't wanna play that game
I do not want to see myself
As someone that you saved
I'd rather be your adversary
Than to be your slave
Cuz every friendly gesture
Turns my stomach inside out
Don't do me any favors
I am better off without
Don't offer me your credit
Cuz I do not want the blame
Don't do me any favors
I don't want to know your name
But it's alright
Yes it's alright
Yes its alright
Yes its alright
Yes it's alright
Don't offer me your credit
Cuz I do not want the blame
Don't do me any favors
I don't want to know your name
Don't do me any favors
Don't do me any favors
Don't do me any favors
Coz it's alright
Yes, it's alright etc
Ooh-don't give me any credit
Cuz I do not want the blame
Don't do me any favours
I don't want to see your face
But it's alright
Yes it's alright
Don't Do Me Any Favors
Released by the Norwegian synth-pop trio A-Ha, this track exemplifies the group's signature blend of new wave and electronic instrumentation. The song features the band's characteristic vocal harmonies and driving beat, characteristic of their mid-1980s output. While often associated with their broader catalog of hits, the recording maintains the melodic sensibility that defined their early career. It stands as a testament to the era's pop production style, showcasing the interplay between the group's frontman's vocals and the band's rhythmic foundation. The composition reflects the upbeat, dance-oriented sound that made A-Ha a prominent force in international music during the 1980s.
