I Must Have That Man! - Audra McDonald

Don’t want my mammy, I don’t need a friend

My heart is broken, it won’t ever mend

I ain’t much carin' just where I will end

I must have that man!

I’m like an oven that’s cryin' for heat

He treats me awful each time that we meet

It’s just unlawful how that boy can cheat

But I must have that man!

He’s hot as Hades

A lady’s not safe in his arms when she’s kissed

But I’m afraid that he’s cooled off

And maybe I’m ruled off his list

I’ll never be missed

I need that person much worse’n than just bad

I’m half alive, and he’s drivin' me mad

He’s only human if he’s to be had

Oh, but I must have that man!

I’m so unhappy, left all alone

Ain’t got nobody to love now

The man I long for is not so strong for me

He’s not an angel, but I don’t care

Perhaps a change’ll come someday

Whatever he is, I want to be his way

And I’ll cry everyday

Ooh, ooh

I ain’t much carin' just where I will end

But I must have that man!

He’s hot as Hades

A lady’s not safe in his arms when she’s been kissed

But I’m afraid that he’s cooled off

And maybe I’m ruled off his list

Oh, I’ll never be missed

I need that person much worse’n just bad

I’m half alive, and he’s drivin' me mad

He’s only human if he’s to be had

Oh, but I must have that man!
