It's Better to Have (and Don't Need) Lyrics

You know, I can't get no more satisfaction
Girl you know you won't give me no more inspiration
Listen to me - Lord, have mercy
You know that I lost that lovin' feelin'
But you don't see me packin' up my clothes
Goin' and leavin'
It's better to have and don't need
Yes, better than need and don't have
It's better to have and don't need
Better than need and don't have
You know a man without a woman gonna feel bad

Girl, you caused me so much pain and sorrow
Well, listen havin' nobody, mama is so much harder
You better know it, yeah
Friends stopped by my house instigating
But they don't know it ain't gon'
Be no separating

It's better to have and don't need
Than need and don't have
It's better to have and don't need
Than need and don't have
A woman without a man sure gonna be sad
Boogie!

My-my-my-my, clouds so dark have lost their silver linin'
But don't throw away your umbrella, ya'all,'cause your sun is shining
Oh, Lord!I remember when your love, baby used to keep me hummin
But I like the lyrics to your song but I just
Can't feel the music

It's better to have and don't need
Than need and don't have
It's better to have and don't need
Than need and don't have
It's better to have and don't need
Somebody's havin' nobody, to ha-ha-have
Take-a a chance!
It's better to have and don't need
Than need and don't have no more
It's better to have and don't need
Ya'all than need and don't have

FADES:
It's better, oh-oh
To have and don't need
Than need and don't have
It's better to ha-ha-ha-haave.
