When You Ain't Got Me Songtext
von Brice Long

I said I′d love you for the rest of my life
Promised forever I'd be by your side
I never said that the ride wouldn′t ever be rough
I'm just an ordinary average joe
Work hard all day and pay as I go
And now you're telling me you don′t think that′s enough

Well, you don't miss your water ′til your well runs dry
Don't miss your money ′til there's something to buy
Don′t miss your roof 'til the rain comes down
Don't miss the country ′til you′re living in town
You say loving me is holding you back
Well, get your daddy's truck, I′ll help you pack
Take your microwave and leave the house key
And see what you got when you ain't got me


Well, there ain′t much here that we need to split up
Take what's yours and leave all of my stuff
There ain′t no need in ending this with a fight
Get your ThighMaster and your Lean Cuisines
And all your Star Weekly magazines
See if 42 pairs of shoes will keep you warm at night

Oh, you don't miss your water 'til your well runs dry
Don′t miss your money ′til there's something to buy
Don′t miss your roof 'til the rain comes down
Don′t miss the country 'til you′re living in town
You say loving me is holding you back
Well, get your daddy's truck, I'll help you pack
Take your microwave and leave the house key
And see what you got when you ain′t got me

Take all those books full of recipes
I hope they do you more good than they ever did me

You say loving me is holding you back
Well, get your daddy′s truck, I'll help you pack
Take your microwave and leave the house key
And see what you got when you ain′t got me
Don't forget your Tigo DVD
And see what you got when you ain′t got me
