`My sermon for the Sabbath Day,`
Said Parson Johnson Brown,
`Is going to of interest to every gal in town;
Mandy Lee has done told me
Her man is gone away.
That will be the subject
Which I`ll preach about today.`
If you can`t hold the man you love,
Don`t cry when he`s gone;
If you can`t keep a good man down,
Don`t you carry on!
First I want you gals to know
A little fact I`ve known,
It takes more than a radio
To keep a man at home!
And some night when you`re alone,
Waitin` for the dawn,
Listen, sisters, listen while I warn, doggone:
You can`t mail a letter if it isn`t stamped,
You can`t reform a man, but he can be revamped!
If you can`t hold the man you love,
Don`t cry when he`s gone!
You can`t hold a bird unless you feed him seeds,
You can`t hold a dog without the bones he needs,
If a monkey don`t get peanuts, why, you`ll find him gone;
You can`t hold a chicken `less you feed him corn;
You can`t hold a seal unless you feed him fish,
You even got to grant a baby`s slightest wish,
And just as sure as there`s a lord above,
You can`t hold a man unless you give him love!
If you can`t hold the man you love,
Don`t cry when he`s gone;
If you can`t keep a good man down,
Don`t you carry on!
The secret, ladies, is to know
Just what your man desires,
Learn to cultivate the tastes
His appetite requires.
And some night when you`re alone,
Waitin` for the dawn,
Listen, sisters, listen while I warn, doggone:
You better get wise, realize the truth!
Keep your home fires burnin` for your flame in you,
If you can`t hold the man you love,
Don`t cry when he`s gone!
I`m preachin`,
Don`t cry when he`s gone! Send " If You Can T Hold The Man You Love" Ringtone to your Cell
