You Can Have Her
Jerry Lee Lewis · Mercury Smashes...And Rockin' Sessions [2000]
She didn't love me anyway
She only wanted someone to play with
But I needed a love to stay
The woman I love, up and left me
Ran away with my best friend
She making in at night for just one hour
When daylight comes, she's out [Incomprehensible]
You can have her, I don't want her
She didn't love me anyway
She only wanted someone to play with
All I needed was our love to stay
Well, if you get the wrong woman
There's only one thing you can do
You just dig a hole, crawl right in it
Pull the ground right over you
You can have her, I don't want her
She didn't love me anyway
She only wanted someone to play with
[Incomprehensible] needed a love to stay
Well, you can have her, I don't want her
She didn't love me anyway
She only wanted someone to play with
All I needed a love to stay
