"If I Don't Love You (Grits Ain't Groceries)" is a song by American country singer George Jones. It reached No. 29 on the Billboard country survey, even though it was released as the B-side to "Treasure of Love". Jones composed the song with J.P. Richardson, better known as the Big Bopper, who also wrote Jones' first No. 1 country hit "White Lightning". The song is an upbeat honky-tonk novelty, with the singer declaring his love with the tag line, "If I don't love you grits ain't groceries and that's on every poor man's plate."[citation needed]
