If He Don’t Songtext
von Paul Heaton + Jacqui Abbott

If he don′t always love you
On a dark and wintry night
If he don't take you in his arms
And wrap you warm and tight

If she don′t stand beside your bed
When you're feeling ill
If she don't love you, baby
Then I will

Some men fill your heart with joy
Your head with just the same
Get your pulses racing from
The rib cage to the brain

Then they′ll go and drop you
From the highest point they can
Let my love, that ain′t no real man

If he don't take you by the hand
And lead you through this life
If he don′t get down on his knees
And ask you for his wife


If she lets all those hyenas
Circle you for the kill
If she don't protect you, baby
Then I will

Some men fill your heart with joy
Your head with just the same
Get your pulses racing from
The rib cage to the brain

Then they′ll go and drop you
From the highest point they can
Let my love, that ain't no real man

He′ll get you thinking everything
Like you're the one to blame
It's your fault women have a heart
And men don′t have a brain

If only you just sat there
With a false smile and a dress
None of us would be in such a mess

If he tries to better you
Like all those wise guys
If his picture′s somewhere 'tween
Your brain and inner thighs


If it ain′t quite sinking in
That Jack ain't taking Jill
If he won′t wait for you, baby
Then I will, oh yeah

Some men fill your heart with joy
Your head with just the same
Get your pulses racing from
The rib cage to the brain

Then they'll go and drop you
From the highest point they can
Let my love, that ain′t no real man
No, no, no, no, no, no

Then they'll go and drop you
From the highest point they can
Let my love, that ain't no real man
