I Must Have That Man - Original - Teddy Wilson And His Orchestra

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 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 when he’s cooled off

And maybe I’m ruled off his list

I’ll never be missed

I need that person much worse 'n just bad

I’m half alive 'n he’s drivin' me mad

He’s only human if he’s to be had

I must have that man

I must have that man
