"Hey, that's pretty cool
Why don'tcha turn that up?"
Some folks say when you fall in love
You lose your appetite
If love makes you feel that way
Listen to what I say, dear
If love makes you give up steak and potatoes
(That's what you eat?)
Rice, corn, chitlins, and tomatoes
If love makes you give up all those things
I don't want love
If love makes you give up ham and greens
Chicken pot pie and lima beans
If love makes you give up all them things
(Don't want it)
I don't want love
Ooo...
Well, I am here to say to you that
I love my bread and my meat
Take a look at me and it's plain to see
That I'm a man
That loves to eat
So, if love makes you give up steak and tomatoes
Eggs over easy and hash-brown potatoes
If love makes you give up stuff like that
(Oh no)
Heh, I don't want love
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
If love makes you give up corn-dogs and mustard
Cracker Jacks, tootie fruity custard
If love makes you give up onion rings
I don't want love
(Don't want it)
If love makes you give up pizza night
Garlic mashed potatoes, then it's outta sight
(That or nothing!)
If love makes you give up all those things
No no, not me
Well, my baby's awful skinny
And she don't like meat
And she can't stand breakfast in bed
And as for me, well, where's my seat?
'Cause it's time that I was fed
So if love makes you give up sauté and pâté
And vishyssoise and stuff you have to flambé
If love makes you give up buffalo wings
I don't want love
(No, no!)
No, no
Not me
No sir
No siree
I, I, I, I
I don't want love
Pass the sausage!
