My Man - Billie Holiday, Teddy Wilson

It’s caused me a lot

But there’s one thing that I got

It’s my man

Cold and wet

Tied, you bet

All of that I’ll soon forget

With my man

He’s not much for looks

And no hero out of books

But I love him

Two or three girls has he

That he likes as well as me

But I love him

I don’t know why I should

He isn’t true

He beats me to

What can I do?

Oh my man

I love him so

He’ll never know

All my life is just despair

I don’t care

When he takes me in his arms

The world is right

All right

What’s the difference if I say

I’ll go away

When I know

I’ll come back on my knees some day

Whatever my man is

I am his for ever more

What’s the difference if I say

I’ll go away

When I know

I’ll come back on my knees some day

Whatever my man is

I am his for ever more
