My Man

Billie Holiday · Complete Masters 1933 - 1959 [2011]

It's cost me a lot

But there's one thing that I've got

It's my man, it's my man



Cold and wet, tired you bet

All of this I'll soon forget with my man



He's not much on looks

He's no hero out of books

But I love him, yes, 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 too

What can I do?



Oh, my man I love him so

He'll never know

All my life is just despair, but I don't care

When he takes me in his arms

The world is bright, all right



What's the difference if I say I'll go away

When I know I'll come back on my knees someday

For whatever my man is

I'm his forevermore
