Please Don’t
[IMELDA AND ENSEMBLE]
The world
They want
To criticize us

Greed
Injustice
And dominance

A woman
A woman knows
Knows relationships

That's why
Why I make
Make my little trips

So if there's a problem
We do the Filipino way
No we don't need the President
I'll get my little bag and say

Please don't

[IMELDA]
Don't let them look down on us
[IMELDA AND ENSEMBLE]
Please don't

[IMELDA]
Like they used to do to me

[IMELDA AND ENSEMBLE]
Ronald Reagan, Mao Zedong, they're all the same
Kissinger, Anwar Sadat, let me explain
First you talk a bit, a little dance, champagne on ice
An hour or two relationship, we're friends for life

Please don't
Don't let them look down on us
Please don't
Like they used to do to me

Nixon, Castro, Zhou Enlai
Qaddafi is easy and I'll tell you why
A woman knows just how to do, only rub his leg
He understood my point of view so I don't have to beg

Please don't
Don't let them look down on us
Please don't
Like they used to do to me
Please don't
Don't let them look down on us
Please don't
Like they used to do to me
