Merle Haggard — If Were Not Back In Love By Monday

[Verse] We can call Mrs. Johnson to keep the kids a day or two Take the early flight to Florida just the way we used to do Have room service bring us breakfast, make love all through the day If we're not back in love by Monday, we can go our separate ways [Chorus] If we're not back in love by Monday, we can't say we didn't try But before we bury our love, let's make sure we've let it die Sleep a few more nights together, say the things we used to say If we're not back in love by Monday, we can go our separate ways [Verse] We could find that little café with the funny-sounding name Get the table by the window, I'll say "I love you" once again If the violin player's still there, we'll dance until the break of day If we're not back in love by Monday, we can go our separate ways [Chorus] If we're not back in love by Monday, we can't say we didn't try But before we bury our love, let's make sure we've let it die Sleep a few more nights together, say the things we used to say If we're not back in love by Monday, we can go our separate ways
