My man lyrics
by Billie Holiday
Sometimes I say if I just could get away
with my man
He goes straight sure as paid for
It never is too late for a man
I just like to dream of a cottage by a stream
with my man
Where a few flowers grew and perhaps a kid or two
like my man
And then my eyes get wet
I 'most forget
'til he gets hot and tells me not to talk such rot
Oh my man I love him so
He'll never know
All my life is just despair
but I don't care
when he takes me in his arms
the world is right, alright
what's the difference if I say I'll go away
when I know I'll come back on my knees someday
For whatever my man is
I'm his for evermore
