Thanks, But No Thanks |
Now, this is a true story. |
Ah, a man had a fine wife |
(I ain’t gon' call her name, hee-hee) |
But he mistreat his wife and went off and took another girl. |
After he was with the other girl a while another guy come |
Along and took her from him. |
So now, he’s left all alone, so he thought he better drop |
Back, see if he could get the wife back 'fore it was too late. |
He went back he said, he said, 'Darling, will you take me back? |
' |
She looked at him, she said, 'i thank you for askin' me to take |
You back but no thanks, I don’t want you back. |
' |
So, the story is but 'Thanks But No Thanks' |
My, my. |
So she said, darling, cheating is yo hobby |
She say, you know I saw you kissing |
In the hotel lobby |
She said, darling you just won’t be true |
So thanks but no thanks |
I’ve had my share of you |
She say, you know I hope you make money |
And we start a little bank account. |
I gave you all my loving in no small amounts. |
She said, darling, you still just wouldn’t be true |
So thanks but no thanks |
I’ve had my share of you |
My, my She say, you had my life complicated |
That’s why I’ve just stated |
She say, I think we better stay separated |
Because you, you had me underrated |
My, my She says, I got me a new love from now on And a telephone |
She says, I don’t have to sit around here no mo all alone |
She said, darling you see you just wouldn’t be true |
So thanks but no thanks |
I’ve had my share of you |
I ain’t kiddin' |
Yeah, she said, I had enough of you |
Mercy, Goodbye. |
