Act I: Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man

Oh listen, sister, I love my Mr. Man

And I can't tell you why there ain't no reason

For me to love dat man

It must be sumthin' dat the angels done plan



Fish got to swim, birds got to fly

I got to love one man till I die

Can't help lovin' dat man of mine



Tell me he's lazy, tell me he's slow



Tell me I'm crazy, maybe I know

Can't help lovin' dat man of mine



When he goes away dat's a rainy day

But when he comes back dat day is fine

The sun will shine



He can come home as late as can be

Home without him ain't no home to me

Can't help lovin' dat man of mine
