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

I really don't need it I've already got a good home

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
