Rasputina - If Your Kisses Can't Hold the Man You Love lyrics

Every time that I hear a woman cry

'Cause her man has left her flat

I just feel like saying

"Don't be such a fool, you fool."

Better dry your eyes

Can't you realize

You gain nothing by that

Well that's no way to keep his heart warm baby

When his love grows cool

What's the use in sighing

What's the use in crying

If he's wandered off the track

'Cause if your kisses won't hold The man you love

then your tears won't bring him back, no

Might as well be cheerful

No use being tearful

If he's given you the sack

'Cause if your kisses won't hold the man you love

Then your tears won't bring him back

Now, listen, if sweet sort o' kissin'

Isn't gonna make him come home

Tell me how do you hope to keep him to you

With tears instead of song

Just meet a normal fella

Come on, say "what the hella"

Get his clothes and help him to pack

'Cause if your kisses won't hold the man you love

Then your tears won't bring him back

Love is like home cooking-- good and wholesome

But all men need some mutton on the outside now and then

If you find your boy's been cheating, then do the same old dear,

He's only giving you the chance that you've been waiting for for years

My goodness, tears won't get you anything!

Just a shiny, red nose

Go on, paint up, powder up,

Put on your swellest clothes

Then go get them by the score

Neglected girls shouldn't worry

That's what God made sailors for

Don't cry for him or chase him

Just screw it and replace him

With some good looking Tom, Dick, or Jack

'Cause if your kisses won't hold the man you love

Then your tears won't bring him back
