If Your Kisses Can't Hold the Man You Love

Every time that I hear a woman cry 'cuz her man has left her flat
I just feel like saying, "don't be such a fool, you fool."
Better dry your eyes, can't you realize
You gain nothing by that
Well, that's no way to keep his heart warm, baby,
When his love grows cool
What's the use in sighing?
What's the use in crying
If he's wandered off the track?
'Cuz if your kisses won't hold the man you love
Then your tears won't bring him back, no
Might as well be cheerful
There's no use being tearful
If he's given you the sack
'Cuz if your kisses won't hold the man you love
Then your tears won't bring him back
Now, listen
If sweet sugar kissin' isn't gonna make him come home
Tell me,how do ya hope to keep him to ya
With tears instead of song
Just be a normal fella
Come on, say "What the hell-a"
Get his clothes and help him to pack
'Cuz if your kisses won't hold the man you love
Then your tears won't bring him back
Love is like home cooking: good, and wholesome
But all men need some mutton on the outside now and then
If you find your boy is cheating,
Do the same, old dear
He's only giving you the chance that you've been waiting for for years
My goodness! Tears won't get you anything
Just a shiny red nose
Go on, paint up, powder up, put on your swellest clothes
Men: go and get 'em by the score
Neglected girls shouldn't worry
That's what God made sailors for!
Don't cry for him or chase him
Just go out and replace him
With some good looking Tom, Dick or Jack
'Cuz if your kisses won't hold the man you love
Then your tears won't bring him back
If your kisses won't hold
The man you love
Then your tears won't bring him back!
