You know I can't get no more (satisfaction)
Girl you just don't give me no more (inspiration)
Listen to me
You gone and lost that (lovin' feeling)
But you won't see me packin' up my clothes and (goin' leavin')
It's better to have and don't need
Than need and don't have
Much better to have and don't need
Than need and don't have
You know that a man without a woman
Is sure gonna feel bad
Girl you cause me so much (pain and sorrow)
But you know we haven't no money momma is it (so much harder)
You better know it yeah
Friends stop by my house (instigating)
But you know there won't be no no (separating)
It's better to have and don't need
Than need and don't have
Much better to have and don't need
Than need and don't have
You know that a woman without a man
Is sure gonna be sad
(Feel so sad, yeah)
You know my clouds don't have a (silver lining)
Don't throw no umbrella on me 'cause the (sun is shinning)
I remember when you loved me you used to (keep me honey)
It's better to have and don't need
Than need and don't have
Much better to have and don't need
Than need and don't have
Somebody is better than nobody
To have, have, have

It's better to have and don't need
Than need and don't have
Much better to have and don't need
Than need and don't have
You know that a man without a woman
He's gonna feel so bad
You know that a woman without a man
She's gonna
