	Story Behind the Song The song was written in the early '80s in a sharecropper shack in Duvall, though it could have been the '30s by the legendary Clarence Blisswater. It was written in pieces and more than one woman inspired verses. The recording took 2 takes max, at Kearney Barton's Auudio Recording in Seattle, in about 1992. Lyrics If you don't like my peaches don't shake my tree but I want to be your best friend baby now can't you see that I want to love you any way you let it be yeah, I want to be your best friend baby now can't you see well lady I ain't no circus dog and I won't jump through hoops for you but if you wants to get it on with me well that's exactly what we'll do Ain't gonna play no silly games like who is bigger than who you just tell me what you want from me and I'll do the same for you Little girl I ain't gonna be just another heart on your chain but when you finally decide that you are through with that game and you want a little real love I know you'll be calin' MY name and who knows baby maybe I will still be the same? If you don't like my peaches why don't you try one of my plums? And if that don't work we'll just go on down and get drunk with the bums Or if you got somethin' better I wish you'd just up and give me some but first, baby please, spit out that chewing gum (repeat first verse)
