Don't bother putting on your tie, I'd rather a casual guy And don't be putting on those fancy airs I like my men Devil may care Don't spend your money when you've got none It won't cost a dollar for my kind of fun Don't try and be somebody you'll never be That high and mighty fool don't mean a thing to me Don't try and be a star... Come as you are I don't believe in playing lets pretend So don't be dropping names of all your famous friends You say your father made the social page But your hard working daddy's turning in his grave Don't get above your raisin' boy There's a place down here on earth you might enjoy You know that underneath you're just like me So don't be acting like you're high society Darling you won't get far... Come as you are. Don't get above your raisin' boy There's a place down here on earth you might enjoy You know that underneath you're just like me So don't be acting like you're high society Darling you won't get far... Don't try to be a star Darling you won't get far... Come as you are... Come as you are
