I Must Have That Man - Abbey Lincoln

作词：Dorothy Fields/Jimmy McHugh

作曲：Dorothy Fields/Jimmy McHugh

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 some day

Whatever he is I want to be his way

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

But 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 need that person much worsen just bad

I'm half alive and it's drivin' me mad

He's only human if he's to be had

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 worsen just bad

I'm half alive and it's drivin' me mad

He's only human if he's to be had

I will have that man
