Billie Holiday - Lady Sings The Blues

I Must Have That Man!

I need my mammy, I ain't got a friend
My heart is broken and 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 crying 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
And I'm afraid that he's cooled off
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 and he'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
And I'm afraid that he's cooled off
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 and he's drivin' me mad
He's only human if he's to be had
I must have that man
