[Verse 1]
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, if you get that, that wrong fella
There's only one thing that you can do:
Just dig a hole and jump right in it
And pull the ground right, right over you
[Chorus]
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 a love to stay
[Verse 2]
The boy I love, he, up and left me
He ran away, yeah, with my best friend
Comes home at night just for one hour
When the daylight comes in, he's gone again
[Chorus]
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 a love to stay
[Verse 3]
Life without love is mighty empty
But you know confession's good for the soul
I'd rather have a love that I can cling to, yeah
Than have the world and all of its gold
[Chorus]
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 a love to stay
You can have him ('Cause I don't want him)
I don't want him
He didn't love me anyway (No, he didn't, no)
He only wanted someone to play with
But all I wanted was a love to stay
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, if you get that, that wrong fella
There's only one thing that you can do:
Just dig a hole and jump right in it
And pull the ground right, right over you
[Chorus]
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 a love to stay
[Verse 2]
The boy I love, he, up and left me
He ran away, yeah, with my best friend
Comes home at night just for one hour
When the daylight comes in, he's gone again
[Chorus]
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 a love to stay
[Verse 3]
Life without love is mighty empty
But you know confession's good for the soul
I'd rather have a love that I can cling to, yeah

[Chorus]

He didn't love me anyway
He only wanted someone to play with
But all I wanted was a love to stay
You can have him ('Cause I don't want him)
I don't want him
He didn't love me anyway (No, he didn't, no)
He only wanted someone to play with
But all I wanted was a love to stay
