You Can Have Her

Jim Ed Brown and the Browns · The Best of Jim Ed Brown [K-Tel] [2005]

(William S. Cook)



You can have her I don't want her

She didn't loved me anyway

She only wanted someone to play with

All I wanted was love to stay.



If you get the wrong woman

There's only one thing you can do

Just dig a hole, jump right in it

And pull the ground right over you.



You can have her I don't want her

She didn't loved me anyway

She only wanted someone to play with

All I wanted was love to stay.



The girl I love she upped and left me

She ran away with my best friend

Comes home at night just for an hour

When daylight comes she's gone again.



You can have her I don't want her

She didn't loved me anyway

She only wanted someone to play with

All I wanted was love to stay.



Life without love it's mighty empty

Confession is good, good for the soul

I'd rather have love that I can cling to

Than have the world and all of its gold



You can have her I don't want her

She didn't loved me anyway

She only wanted someone to play with

All I wanted was love to stay...
