I Must Have That Man! Songtext
von Billie Holiday with Teddy Wilson and 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 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 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 is 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′n just bad
I′m half alive and it's drivin′ me mad
He's only human if he′s to be had
I must have that man
