My Man

Peggy Lee · Ridin High Complete Record Releases 1957-59 [2010]

It cost me a lot

But there's one thing that I've got

It's my man



Cold & wet

Tired you bet

But all that I soon forget

With my man



He's not much for looks

And no hero out of books

He's my man



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 good

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

Alright



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 am his

Forever

And ever

Evermore
