[Verse 1]
What makes you love him?
I do the very best I can to make you happy
But you're in love with some no-good man
[Chorus]
You really don't need him, no
What makes you love him, instead of me?
Oh my darling, oh my darling
[Verse 2]
What you made you love him?
I work my hands to the bone
But still, you don't want me around you
'Til he got your cash and gone
[Chorus]
You really don't need him, no
What makes you love him, instead of me? (Instead of me)
I wanna know, I just wanna know
[Bridge]
Now he takes your money (He takes your money)
And he plays the town (He takes your money)
He'll always leave you, darling, when you're sick and down
He doesn't love you (He doesn't love you)
No, no, not really for himself (He doesn't love you)
Now, he only tryin' to keep you away from anybody else
[Verse 3]
What makes you love him?
When I've been your friend, indeed
Girl, you always have called me darling
When there was any, anything you need
[Chorus]
You really don't need him, no (You really don't need him)
What makes you love him? (What makes you love him?)
Oh, what makes you love him? (What makes you love him?)
Oh, what makes you love him? (What makes you love him?)
Oh, instead of me, I just wanna know, I just wanna know (Instead of me)
