If I Ain't Got It (You Don't Need It)

(album: I Lie - 1981)

Well, if I ain't got it, then you don't need it
She may have more of it, but she ain't got nothing new
Yea, it ain't what you got, it's how you use it
So if I ain't got it, then it ain't no good for you

She lays out on her blanket to keep you in suspense
That sweet young thing that just moved in next door
But love, you better keep your love on this side of the fence
Unless you want to start another war

Well, if I ain't got it, then you don't need it
She may have more of it, but she ain't got nothing new
Yea, it ain't what you got, it's how you use it
So if I ain't got it, then it ain't no good for you

If I'm good enough to wash your clothes and scrub your kitchen floor
You know you shouldn't carry on like this
Be good enough to keep your mind behind our bedroom door
And quit thinking about the things you might've missed

No, if I ain't got it, honey, you can't have it
I know you love it, but you know what I'll do
So you better refuse it or you're gonna lose it
So if I ain't got it, then it ain't no good for you

Well, if I ain't got it, then you don't need it
She may have more of it, but she ain't got nothing new
Yea, it ain't what you got, it's how you use it
So if I ain't got it, then it ain't no good for you
