IF I DON'T GET YOU THE NEXT ONE WILL
(Lynsey De Paul / David Jordan)
Lynsey De Paul


I've been dated and waited until I was blue, 
I've been cheated, mistreated and broken in two, 
I've been lied to, denied to, till I've had my fill, 
So, if I don't get you, well, the next one will, 

I've been rung up and hung up when given a lie 
I've been flattered and battered when I was just fine, 
I've been dined, I've been wined, I've been given the bill, 

So, if I don't get you, well, the next one will 

Men are all the same, 
they only wanna play a game, 
We need them still 

If I don't get you, well, the next one will 

'cos I've been bitten and smitten, 
It won't happen twice, 
and I've been caught out and bought out below market price, 
I've been nesting my best hits when dress up to kill 

So, if I don't get you, well, the next one will 

Men are all the same, 
there ain't a women you can blame, 
We need them still, 
If I don't get you, well, the next one will 

Woooh... 

If I don't get you, ooh ooh 
If I don't get you, ooh ooh 
If I don't get you, ooh ooh 

Well, I've been pawed, I've bored, I've ignored all the signs, 
and I've been used and abused and I'm just not that kind, 
Your a zero, no hero, a positive nil, 

so if I don't get you, well, the next one will 
If I don't get you 
If I don't get you 
if I don't get you..... 
the next one will 

Yes, you 
If I don't get you 
You know that I will 

If I don't get you 
You know that I will 

Cos I've been dated and waited until I was blue, 
and I've been cheated, mistreated and broken in two, 
I've been lied to, denied to till I've had my fill 
So, if I don't get you, well, well, well! 
I've been rung up and hung up when given a lie, 
I've been flattered and battered when I was just fine, 
I've been dined, I've been dined, I've been given the bill, 

So, if I don't get you, well, the next one will yeah 

If I dont get you you know if I don't get you, 
no if I dont get you, yeah, the next one will
