You Can Have Him Lyrics by Ketty Lester

The Soul of Me

0

[Chorus]
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 a love to stay
[Verse 1]
Well, if you marry and he quits you
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]
Oh, 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 a love to stay
[Verse 2]
The man I love, he, up and left me
He ran away with my best friend
Comes home at night just for one hour
When daylight comes, he's gonе again
[Chorus]
Well, you can have him, I don't want him (You can have him, you can havе him)
He didn't love me anyway (You can have him anyway)
He only wanted someone to play with (You can have him, you can have him)
But all I wanted was a love to stay
[Verse 3]
Life without love is mighty empty
But true confession's good for the soul
I'd rather have love that I can cling to
Than to have the world and all of its gold
[Chorus]
(Yes, you can have him, I don't want him) You can have him now, I don't want him child
(He didn't love me anyway) No, no, no, no, no, no
(He only wanted someone to play with) Yes, he did, yes, he did, yes, he did, someone to play with
(But all I wanted was a love to stay) Yes
[Outro]
You can have him, I don't want him (You can have him, you can have him)
He didn't love me anyway (You can have him anyway)
He only wanted someone to play with (You can have him, you can have him)
But all I wanted was a love to stay
