If It Ain't Here

you can write me a letter, you can call me on the phone

but the fact of the matter is, I'm still all alone

you can spin me a story, you can tell me how you feel

but if it ain't here, baby, it ain't real

you can get down on your knees darling

at the end of the day

but if you're too tired for me, just go on your way

chocolates and flowers won't cut the deal

'cause if it ain't here, baby, it ain't real

if it ain't here, I'll have a sad face

if it ain't here, I'll find it some other place

if it ain't here, you've had your last free meal

'cause if it ain't here, baby, it ain't real

I'm the kind of woman, got lots of needs

but you can't console me with your baubles and your beads

if you're a real lover better show me how you feel

'cause if I can't see it then it just ain't real

if it ain't here, I won't go to waste

if it ain't here, I'll find it some other place

if it ain't here, you've had your last free meal

'cause if it ain't here, baby, it ain't real
