I Must Have That Man-Duke Ellington

I Must Have That Man - Duke Ellington & His Orchestra Don't want my mammy I don't need a friend My heart is broken it won't ever mend I ain't much caring just where I will end I must have that man I'm like an oven that's crying for heat He treats me awful each time that we meet It's just unlawful how that boy can cheat But I must have that man He's hot as hades a lady's Not safe in his arms when she's kissed But I'm afraid that he's cooled off And maybe I'm ruled off his list I'll never be missed I need that person much worse than just bad I'm half alive and it's driving me mad He's only human if he's to be had I must have that man I'm so unhappy left all alone Ain't got nobody to love now The man I long for is not so strong for me He's not an angel but I don't care Perhaps a change'll come some day Whatever he is I want to be his way That's why I cry everyday Not safe in his arms when she's kissed He's hot as hades a lady's But I'm afraid that he's cooled off And maybe I'm ruled off his list I must have that man
