Shirley Bassey - You Can Have Him Lyrics

Artist: Shirley Bassey

Album: Miscellaneous

  • Songwriters: Irving Berlin

You can have him, I don't want 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
So he can go right back, where he came from
I'm afraid I never loved him, 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 clothing, darn his socks
Fetch his slippers and remove his shoes
Wipe his glasses when he read the news

Rub his forehead with a gentle touch
Mornings after when he had a little to much
Kiss him gently when he cuddled near
And give him babies one for every year

So you see
That you can have him, I don't want him
I don't want him, you can have him
Because he's not the man for me

Then I close the windows while he soundly slept
Then I brayed the icebox where the food is kept
I'd fix him breakfast that would please him most
Eggs and coffee and some buttered toast
Then I go out and buy the papers and when they've been read
Spend the balance of the day in bed

So you see
That you can have him, I don't want him
I don't want him, you can have 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
I don't want him, you can have him
Because he's not the man for me
