You Can Have Him
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
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
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)
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
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) (Was love to stay)
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)
