Ray Charles - Take Him - Текст песни

[Verse 1]
He was a cutie - I admit I used to care
But it's my duty to myself to take the air
I won't prevent you from eloping if you wish
May I present you with this tasty dish

[Chorus]
Take him, you don't have to pay for him
Take him, it's free
Take him, I won't make a play for him
He's not for me
He has no head to think with
True, that high heart is asleep
But he has eyes to wink with
You can have him cheap
Keep him and just for the lure of it
Marry him too
Keep him, for you can be sure of it
He can't keep you
So take my old jalopy
Keep him from falling apart
Take him, but don't ever take him to heart

[Verse 2]
Thanks little mousey, for the present and all that
But in this housy, I would rather keep a rat
Only a wizard could reform that class of males
They say a lizard can not change his scales

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I hope that things will go well with him;
I bear no hate
All I can say is the hell with him
He gets the gate
So take my benediction
Take my old benedict, too
Take him away, it's too good to be true
