(Satisfaction)
Girl, you just don't give me no more
(Inspiration)
Listen to me, you gone and lost that
(Lovin' feeling)
But you won't see me packin' up my clothes and
(Goin' leavin')

Than need and don't have
Much better to have and don't need
Than need and don't have
You know that a man without a woman
Is sure gonna feel bad

(Pain and sorrow)
But you know we haven't no money, momma, is it

But you know there won't be no, no
(Separating)

Than need and don't have
Much better to have and don't need
Than need and don't havev
You know, that a woman without a man
Is sure gonna be sad
(Feel so sad, yeah)
You know, my clouds don't have a
(Silver lining)
Don't throw no umbrella on me because the

It's better to have and don't need
Than need and don't have
Much better to have and don't need
Than need and don't have
You know that a man without a woman
He's gonna feel so bad
You know that a woman without a man
She's gonna, she's gonna feel so sad
