Lyrics

I don't want him you can have him
 He's not worth fighting for
 Besides there's plenty more where he came from
 I don't want him you can have him
 I'm giving him the sack
 And he can go right back where he came from
 I'm afraid I never loved him
 Sweetie he'd be better off with you
 I could never make him happy
 All I ever wanted to do was
 Run my fingers through his curly locks
 Mend his underwear and darn his socks
 Fetch his slippers and remove his shoes
 Wipe his glasses when he's read the news
 Rub his forehead with a gentle touch
 Mornings after when he's had a little too much
 Kiss him gently when he cuddles near
 And give him babies one for every year
 So you see that I don't want him you can have him
 You can have him 'cause I don't want him
 Because he's not the man for me
 Then I'd close the window while he soundly slept
 Then I'd raid the icebox where the food is kept
 I'd fix the breakfast that would please him most
 Eggs and coffee some apricot juice and some buttered toast
 Oh oh then I'd go out and buy the papers
 And when they've been read spend the balance of the day in bed
 So you see that I don't want him you can have him
 You can have him 'cause I don't want him because he's not my man
 I don't want him you can have him
 You can have him I don't want him
 You can have him I don't want him
 'Cause he's not the man for me
