You know I can't get no more (satisfaction),
Girl you just don't give me no more (inspiration).
Listen to me,
You gone and lost that (lovin' feeling),
But you won't see me packin' up my clothes and (goin' leavin').

It's better to have and don't need,
Than need and don't have.
Much better to have and don't need,
Than need and don't have.
You know that a man without a woman,
Is sure gonna feel bad.

Girl you cause me so much (pain and sorrow),
But you know we haven't no money momma is it (so much harder).
You better know it yeah.
Friends stop by my house (instigating),
But you know there won't be no no (separating).

It's better to have and don't need,
Than need and don't have.
Much better to have and don't need,
Than need and don't have.
You know that a woman without a man,
Is sure gonna be sad.
(Feel so sad, yeah)

You know my clouds don't have a (silver lining),
Don't throw no umbrella on me 'cause the (sun is shinning).
I remember when you loved me you used to (keep me honey),
Well I like the lyrics to your song I just can't (feel the music).

It's better to have and don't need,
Than need and don't have.
Much better to have and don't need,
Than need and don't have.
Somebody is better than nobody,
To have, have, have.
(Oh yeah)

It's better to have and don't need,
Than need and don't have.
Much better to have and don't need,
Than need and don't have.
You know that a man without a woman,
He's gonna feel so bad.
You know that a woman without a man,
She's gonna
She's gonna
Feel so sad.
