I Must Have That Man Songtext
von Billie Holiday with Teddy Wilson and His Orchestra

Don′t want my mammie.
I Don't need a friend.

My heart is broken.
It would′ 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 lips.

... I'll never be missed.

I need that person much worse than just bad.

I'm half alive,
... and it′s driv′n me mad.

He's only human if he′s too be had.

I must have that man!
