I Got Me a Man
Tammy Wynette · Bedtime Story [Epic] [1972]
I've got the kind of a man every woman wants to find
His lovin' is good he's so sweet and kind
Every day let's me know that I'm his everything
And he makes me know it's true I got me a man.
He brags about my lovin' every mornin' when he holds me tightly
And he makes my life worth livin' every day
I keep tellin' him when I need understanding
At last my hart is happy I got me a man.
I feel so safe as I lay here beside him
He satisfies my thirst for love all day
I know heaven must be lonesome without my angel
I want the whole wide world to know I got me a man.
I feel so safe as I lay here beside him
He satisfies my thirst for love all day
I know heaven must be lonesome without my angel
I want the whole wide world to know I got me a man.
I want the whole wide world to know I got me a man...
