Lyrics for You Can't Lose What You Ain't Never Had

Had a pretty little girl, I lose my baby, boy ain't that bad Had a pretty little girl, I lose my baby, boy ain't that bad You can't spend what you ain't got, You can't lose some little girl that you ain't never had Had money in the bank, I got busted, people ain't that bad Had money in the bank, I got busted, people ain't that bad You can't spend what you ain't got, You can't lose some little girl you ain't never had Ain't that the truth boys (instrumental) (Repeat 2) Had a sweet little home, it got burned down, people ain't that bad My own fault, people ain't that bad Well you know you can't spend what you ain't got, You can't lose some blues you ain't never had (Instrumental) Have mercy! Sweet little home, got burned down, people ain't that bad Yeah you know I had a sweet little home, it got burned down, people ain't that bad Whoa you know you can't spend what you ain't got, You can't lose some little girl you ain't never had
