LET HIM HAVE IT
(Ben Peters)


Jody Miller - 1971
Jan Howard - 1971





If he wants to have a little fun with friends, let him have it
If he needs a little money he can spend, let him have it
But if you find his friends are the kind that wear hot pants and peroxide hair
And you sense a little hanky panky there, let him have it

Every man has got to have a little bit of freedom
But when some see opportunity, they're gonna grab it
The only way to make him know he really doesn't need 'em
Is when you know it's love that he's thinkin' of, let him have it

If he needs to have a little time to think, let him have it
While he has himself a little social drink, let him have it
But when he comes home and later on you find
He tells you there was something on his mind
That she left some lipstick on the shirt you ironed, let him have it

Every man's got to have a little bit of freedom
But when some see opportunity, they're gonna grab it
The only way to make him know he really doesn't need 'em
Is when you know it's love that he's thinkin' of, let him have it
Is when you know it's love that he's thinkin'g of, let him have it
Yeah, when you know it's love that he's thinking of, let him have it
When you know it's love......................FADE
