If I Don't Love You (Grits Ain't Groceries)

(albüm: The Novelty Side Of George Jones - 1963)

Well, you got my heart a-feeling used and junky
The road of love is getting mighty, mighty bumpy
Tell me pretty mama have I filled your heart with hate?

Well, with someone new you're affiliated
And it's making me feel like I'm outdated
If I don't love you grits ain't groceries
And that's on every poor man's plate

Well, let me know honey, tell me what's a-matter
Let me know what's on your mind
If I don't love you ain't a cow in Texas
They're raising 'em there all the time

Well, I don't want to sound like I'm demanding
I just wanna get a little understanding
If I don't love you grits ain't groceries
And that's on every poor man's plate

Well, won't you tell me something, baby
Tell me what's a-matter
Let me know what's on your mind
If I don't love you ain't a cow in Texas
They're raising 'em there all the time

Well, I don't want to sound like I'm demanding
I just wanna get a little understanding
If I don't love you grits ain't groceries
And that's on every poor man's plate
