He's Still My Man
Tammy Wynette · The First Lady [Epic] [1970]
My man can make my heart feel sad
He runs around and that makes me feel bad
And when he's at his fun he comes in with the rising sun
Looks at me, says, ''Honey don't be mad.''
But I'll take the bitter with sweet
And cherish the love I get each time we meet
'Cause when he holds me tight I tell him, ''Everything's all right.''
While my heart crumbles at his feet.
But Lord, please help me stop his urge to roam
Help me love him all I can 'cause love makes a home
There's something deep inside him I can't understand
But meanwhile he's still my man, meanwhile he's still my man.
There's something deep inside him
I can't understand
But meanwhile he's still my man and I love him
Meanwhile he's still my man...
