I Must Have That Man (Blackbirds of 1928) Songtext
von Barbara Cook

Don′t want my mammy
I don't need a friend
My heart is broken, it won′t ever mend
I ain't much carin'
Just where I will end
I must have that man


I′m like an oven
That′s cryin' for heat
He treats me awful
Each time 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 when he's cooled off
And maybe I'm ruled off his list
I′ll never be missed
I need that person much worse ′n just bad
I'm half alive ′n he's drivin′ me mad
He's only human if he′s to be had
I must have that man

I must have that man
