[Verse 1: Judy Clay and William Bell]
Give me an old dollar, and it'll spend just the same
Give me an old raincoat, if it’ll hold out the rain
You tryna tell me something?
I'll even accept
Accept what?
A secondhand pair of gloves, yeah, but
But what?

[Chorus: Judy Clay and William Bell]
But don't you give me no
I won’t take no
Don't you hand me no, no no
Leftover love
Hmmm, lemme tell you something

[Verse 2: William Bell]
The car that I ride in can be 15 years old
That house that I live in, 10 families could've lived there before
I wear a raggedy shirt when push comes to shove
But just don't give me no (Just don't give me no)

[Chorus: William Bell]
I don't want no (I can't use no)
Don't you bring me no, no (Don’t you bring me no)
Leftover love
(Leftover, leftover love)
Oh, no
[Bridge: Judy Clay and William Bell]
Let me feel that you’re my man
'Cause that means a lot
Now tell me something, is it good
(It’s good)
So good
(So good)
Mighty good
(Mighty good)
To know you got something that no other woman has got

[Verse 3: William Bell]
Give me an old dollar, 'cause it'll spend just the same, yes it will
And give me anything except you loving some other man
Understanding is the best thing, so don't ever give your love away

[Chorus: William Bell]
’Cause I can't use no (I can't use no)
You don't want no (You don't need no)
We both don't need no, no (I don't want no, no, no)
Leftover love

[Outro: Judy Clay and William Bell]
I don't want it
You don't want it
I can't use it
You can't use it
I don't need it
We don't need no, no
(Leftover, leftover)
Leftover love
(Leftover love)
Oh, yeah
(I don't want it)
I don't want it
You don't want it
I can't use it
I can't use it either
Don't you hand me
We don't need it
