When his love grows cool
But all men need some mutton on the outside now and then
Every time that I hear a woman cry 'cause her man has left her flat
Men, go and get 'em by the score, neglected girls shouldn't worry
He's only giving you the chance that you've been waiting for for years
You might as well be cheerful, there's no use being tearful
Tell me, how do ya hope to keep him to ya with tears instead of song
'Cause if your kisses won't hold the man you love
Get his clothes and help him to pack
Then your tears won't bring him back
If he's given you the sack
Then your tears won't bring him back, no
'Cause if your kisses won't hold the man you love
If he's wandered off the track
That's what God made sailors for
If you find your boy is cheating, do the same, old dear
'Cause if your kisses won't hold the man you love
What's the use in sighing? What's the use in crying?
My goodness! Tears won't get you anything, just a shiny red nose
Well, that's no way to keep his heart warm, baby
Then your tears won't bring him back
Now, listen, if sweet sugar kissin' isn't gonna make him come home
'Cause if your kisses won't hold the man you love
Don't cry for him or chase him, just go out and replace him
If your kisses won't hold the man you love
Songwriters: Vivian Ellis, Jack Yellen
Go on, paint up, powder up, put on your swellest clothes
Just be a normal fella, come on, say, "What the hell-a"
Then your tears won't bring him back
With some good looking Tom, Dick or Jack
Love is like home cooking, good and wholesome
I just feel like saying, "Don't be such a fool, you fool"
Then your tears won't bring him back
Better dry your eyes, can't you realize you gain nothing by that?
