Don't Pan Me (Don't Talk About Me)

Two lovers quarreled one day
And I heard one say
Let’s be the same old friend
Until we meet again
Although we have to part, it nearly breaks my heart
Don’t be grieving 'cause I’m leaving
But listen while I say
Please don’t talk about me when I’m gone
Please don’t talk about me
Don’t say the things you know are wrong
Just treat me as a friend, and I’ll do the same
You’ll find it’s better in the end
You don’t like my lovin', keep it to yourself
Please, keep it to yourself
Don’t worry, if to no one else
Don’t do that to me, big boy
I’m a cool gal, and all is swell
I’ll strut my stuff most anywhere
Don’t talk about me, poppa
Don’t wash and iron me, daddy
Don’t pan your mama when she’s gone
I say now
Don’t talk about me when I’m gone
Please don’t talk about me
Don’t say the things you know are wrong, things you know are wrong
Just treat me like a friend, and I’ll do the same
You’ll find it’s better in the end
You don’t like my lovin', keep it to yourself
Don’t do that to me big-boy
Don’t worry, if to no one else
I need no one else
'Cause I’m a cool' gal, and all is swell
I’ll strut my stuff most anywhere
But, don’t talk about me, poppa
Don’t wash and iron me, daddy
Don’t pan your mama when she’s gone
'Cause I’m a good ol' gal, and all is swell
I’ll strut my stuff most anywhere
But, don’t talk about me, poppa
Don’t wash and iron me, daddy
Don’t pan your mama when she’s gone
