If Your Kisses Can't Hold the Man You Love
Everytime that I, hear a woman cry,
cos her man has left her flat,
I just feel like saying,
don't be such a fool you fool.
Let her dry your eyes, can't you realise,
that you gain nothing by that.
Why thats no way to keep his heart warm,
when his love grows cool.
Whats the use of sighing,
Whats the use of crying,
If hes giving you the sack.
If your kissess can't hold the man you love,
Then your tears won't bring him back.
You might as well be cheerful,
No use being tearful,
If he wanders off the track.
'Cos if your kissess can't hold the man you love,
then your tears won't bring him back.
Now listen,
if sweet sugar kissin',
isn't going to make him hot.
Now tell me how do ya,
hope to bring him to ya,
with tears instead of song.
So be a regular fella,
say wht the hella,
get his clothes and help pack.
'Cos if your kissess can't hold the man you love,
then your tears won't bring him back.
And what are you crying about
you might aswell be crying about a broken china cup,
but when your red hot cuppa steam pipe gets cold,
tears wont heat it up.
And there's nothing like a weeping wyatt
to drive a man away from home.
Laugh and the world laughs with you,
weep and you sleep alone.
Love is like home cooking, good and wholesome,
but all men like a peice of mutton on the outside now and then.
And if you find your husband is cheating,
go out and do the sameold dear,
why, hes only givng you the chance that youve been wating for for years.
My goodness, tears won't get you anything,
just a shiny red nose.
Now come on, paint up, powder up,
put on your swellest clothes.
Go out and make woopy!
Men, you'll get them by the score.
Neglected wives shouldn't worry,
thats what god made sailors for.
Don't cry for him or chase him,
just go out and replace him,
with some goodlooking Tom Dick or Jack.
'Cos if your kissess can't hold the man you love,
then your tears won't bring him back.
cos her man has left her flat,
I just feel like saying,
don't be such a fool you fool.
Let her dry your eyes, can't you realise,
that you gain nothing by that.
Why thats no way to keep his heart warm,
when his love grows cool.
Whats the use of sighing,
Whats the use of crying,
If hes giving you the sack.
If your kissess can't hold the man you love,
Then your tears won't bring him back.

If he wanders off the track.

then your tears won't bring him back.
