Ray Charles - Take Him lyrics

[Verse 1] He was a cutie - I admit I used to care But it's my duty to myself to take the air I won't prevent you from eloping if you wish May I present you with this tasty dish [Chorus] Take him, you don't have to pay for him Take him, it's free Take him, I won't make a play for him He's not for me He has no head to think with True, that high heart is asleep But he has eyes to wink with You can have him cheap Keep him and just for the lure of it Marry him too Keep him, for you can be sure of it He can't keep you So take my old jalopy Keep him from falling apart Take him, but don't ever take him to heart [Verse 2] Thanks little mousey, for the present and all that But in this housy, I would rather keep a rat Only a wizard could reform that cla** of males They say a lizard can not change his scales [Chorus] [Verse 3] I hope that things will go well with him; I bear no hate All I can say is the hell with him He gets the gate So take my benediction Take my old benedict, too Take him away, it's too good to be true
