If He Don't - Paul Heaton, Jacqui Abbott

If he don’t always love you

On a dark and wintry night

If he don’t take you in his arms

And wrap you warm and tight

If she don’t stand beside your bed

When you’re feeling ill

If she you don’t love you, baby

Then I will

Some men fill your heart with the joy

Your head with just the same

Get your pulses racing from

The ribcage to the brain

Then they’ll go and drop you

From the highest point they can

Let my love, that ain’t no

Real man

If he don’t take you by the hand

And lead you through this life

If he don’t get down on his knees

And ask you for his wife

If she lets all those hyenas

Circle you for the kill

If she don’t protect you, baby

Then I will

He’ll get you thinking everything

Like you’re the one to blame

It’s your fault women have a heart

And men don’t have a brain

If only you just sat there

With a false smile and a dress

None of us would be in

Such a mess

If he tries to better you

Like all those wise guys

If his picture’s somewhere 'tween

Your brain and inner thighs

If it ain’t quite sinking in

That Jack ain’t taking Jill

If he won’t wait for you, baby

Then I will, oh yeah

Then they’ll go and drop you

From the highest point they can

Let my love, that ain’t no

Real man
