Grits Aint't Groceries Songtext
von The Commitments

If I don′t love you, baby
Grits ain't groceries, eggs ain′t poultry
And Mona Lisa was a man

All around the world, I'd rather be a fry
I'd lie along my baby, stay with my woman ′til I die
With a toothpick in my hand, I′d dig ten-foot ditch
And run up through the jungle fightin' lions with a switch

Because you know I love you, baby
Oh, you know I love you, baby
Now if I don′t love you, baby, I'll tell ya
Grits ain′t groceries, eggs ain't poultry
And Mona Lisa was a man, ow

All around the world, I got blisters on my feet
I′m tryin' to find my baby and bring her home with me
You better run into me, baby, and be convinced
If you don't run into me right now, woman, you ain′t got no sense


′Cause you know I love you, baby
Oh, you know I love you, baby
Now if I don't love you, baby, I′ll tell ya
Grits ain't groceries, eggs ain′t poultry
And Mona Lisa was a man

Ha, wow
All around the world, I never will forget
Lost all my money, my woman, and my pet
But I've got to have you, baby, I′d settle for nothing less
Give up all my good times, baby, I'd slave for happiness

Because you know I love you, baby
Oh, you know I love you, baby
Now if I don't love you, baby, I′ll tell ya
Grits ain′t groceries, eggs ain't poultry
And Mona Lisa was a man

Ow, I gotta have you, baby
I need you, woman
I got to, I got to, ow
I need you, woman
I gotta have you, baby, love you, baby
I gotta, I gotta, ow, I gotta love you, baby
Love you, baby, ow, I gotta love you, baby
I need you, woman
Ow, I gotta love you, baby
