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

Well, you get stuck with the wrong woman
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 her (you can have her) 
I don't want her ( I don't want her),
She didn't love me (didn't love me ) anyway (anyway).
She only wanted (only wanted) someone to play with (one to lay with)
But all I wanted (all I wanted) was love to stay (was love to stay).

The girl I love, she, up and left me,
She ran away with my best friend.
Comes home at night just for an hour
When day light comes she'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 her) you can have her, 
(I don't want her) I don't want her,
(She didn't love you) She didn't love me, (anyway) anyway.
(She only wanted) she only wanted (someone to play with) someone to play with
(But all I wanted) Ohh! (Was love to stay) Ohh!

You can have her (you can have her)
I don't want her (I don't want her)
She didn't love me (didn't love me) anyway (anyway)
She 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)
All I want (all I want)
All I want (all I want)...
