Well, you can have him, I don't want him,
He didn't love me anyway.
He only wanted someone to play with
But all I wanted was love to stay.

Well, you get stuck with the wrong fellow
There's only one thing that you can do:
Just dig a hole and jump right in it,
And pull the ground right over you.

[Chorus]
Well, you can have him (you can have him) I don't want him (I don't want him),
He didn't love me (didn't love me) anyway (anyway).
He only wanted (only wanted) someone to play with (one to lay with)
But all I wanted (all I wanted) was a love to stay (was a love to stay).

The man I love, he, up and left me,
He ran away with my best friend.
Comes home at night just for an hour
When daylight comes he's gone again.

[Chorus]

Life without love is mighty empty,
But confession's good for the soul.
I'd rather have love that I can cling to
Than have the world and all of it's gold.

(You can have him) you can have him, (I don't want him) I don't want him,
(He didn't love you) He didn't love me, (anyway) anyway.
(He only wanted) he only wanted (someone to play with) some one to play with
(But all I wanted) Ohhhhhhhh! (Was love to stay)Ohhhhhhhhh!

You can have him (you can have him)
I don't want him (I don't want him)
He didn't love me (didn't love me) anyway (anyway)
He only wanted (only wanted) someone to play with (someone to play with)
But all I want (all I want)
All I want (all I want) (Repeat x3)
