My Man Songtext
von Billie Holiday with Teddy Wilson and His Orchestra

Sometimes I say
If I just could get away
With my man

He′d go straight sure as fate
For it never is too late
For a man

I just like to dream
Of a cottage by a stream
With my man

Where a few flowers grew
And perhaps a kid or two
Like my man


And then my eyes get wet
I almost forget
'Til he gets hot
And tells me not to talk such rot

Oh, my man, I love him so
He′ll never know
All my life is just despair
But I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright
All right

What's the difference if I say
I′ll go away
When I know I′ll come back
On my knees someday

For whatever my man is
I'm his
Forevermore
