Grits Ain't Groceries – The Commitments Lyrics

If I don't love you baby

Grits ain't groceries

Eggs ain't poultry

And Mona Lisa was a man

All around the world

I'd rather be a fly

And light on my baby's head

I'll stay with that

Woman till I die

A toothpick in my hand

I dig a 10-foot ditch

And ride through the jungle

Fightin' lions with a switch

Because ya' know I love ya' baby

Well, you know I love you baby

And if I don't love you baby

Grits ain't groceries

Eggs ain't poultry

And Mona Lisa must-a been a man

Well, it's all around the world and I got

Blisters on my feet

A-tryin' to find my baby

A-bring her back to me

If you see my baby

I know she'll be convinced

If it don't send her back to me

It just

Don't make no sense

Because ya' know I love ya' baby

Well, you know I love you baby

If I don't love you baby

Grits ain't groceries and eggs ain't poultry

And Mona Lisa must-a been a man

Well

All around the world

I never will forget

I lost all my money, my woman and my pet

But I got to have you baby

I got to settle for nothin' less

Give up all my good time for the sake of happiness

Because ya' know I love ya' baby

You know

You know I love you baby

If I don't love you baby

Grits ain't groceries

Eggs ain't poultry

And Mona Lisa must-a been a man

I said, if I don't love you baby

Grits ain't groceries

Eggs ain't poultry

And Mona Lisa must-a

Mona Lisa must-a been a man

Well

If I don't love ya' baby

If

I don't love you baby

If I don't love you baby

Grits ain't groceries

And eggs ain't poultry

And Mona Lisa must-a been a man

Mona Lisa must-a been a man
