i can take it or leave it lyrics

I knew man who drank himself to death
I heard him say with his dying breath
I can take it or leave it I really don't need it
Yeah I can take it or leave it take it or leave it alone

I've got income tax that if I don't pay
They say they're gonna give me a new place to stay
Well I can take it or leave it well I'd rather not leave it
I really don't need it I've already got a good home
[ guitar ]
Smoking's a habit that's hard to break
But I can quit twenty times a day
Cause I can take it or leave it I really don't need it
Yes I can take it or leave it take it or leave it alone

My sweet lover left me livin' all alone
Ain't had no lovin' since she's been gone
Yeah I can take it or leave it but I'd rather not I leave it
Yeah I really not leave it I really not leave it alone
