Millie Jackson - If You're Not Back In Love By Monday lyrics

rate me

Well, I've spoken to him.

I've spoken to her.

Maybe they'll stay together, maybe they won't.

I've said 'bout all I know to say.

I really think they should give it a try though.

They're so much alike.

One is just as ridiculous as the other one.

But in their own way, I think they love each other or they wouldn't have been together this long.

Besides, there's just too much at stake.

They have the kids and they haven't bothered anyone, so I just told them...

You can call Mrs. Johnson

To keep the kids for a day or two.

Take the early flight to Florida

Just the way you used to do.

Have room service bring the breakfast.

Make love all through the day.

If you're not back in love by Monday,

Then you go your separate ways.

If you're not back in love by Monday,

You can say you didn't try.

But before you bury your love,

Just make sure you let it die.

Sleep a few more nights together.

Say the things that you used to say.

And if you're not back in love by Monday,

Then you go your separate ways.

You can find that little cafe

With the finest sound in name.

At the corner by the window,

Tell him you love him once again.

If the disco DJ's still there,

Go on, dance till the break of day.

If you're not back in love by Monday,

Then you go your separate ways.

If you're not back in love by Monday,

You can say you didn't try.

But before you bury your love,

Just make sure you let it die. Oh, Lord.

Go on, sleep a few more nights together.

Say the things that you used to say.

If you're not back in love by Monday,

Then you go your separate ways.

Then you go your separate ways.

Mmmm, hmmm, hmmmmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmmmmmm.
