I Just Love the Man Songtext
von The Jones Girls

(K. Gamble/L. Huff)

[Sisters:]
Hey Shirley, you know we your sisters and we love you,
I been watching you and you don′t look good at all
I hate to tell you, but your man
He ain't doing you no good at all, he′s running you in the ground
You should leave him, cut him loose
I mean, you young, nice-looking girl, everybody like you
You got a nice personality and so on and so forth --
You know you can get another man,
Somebody who's gonna treat you like a lady

Look girls, let me tell you something
I just love the man
I don't care what you say
I just love the man
′Cause he treats me the way
I want to be treated
When I need to be needed


[Verse:]
When it comes to lovin′
He's alright
When it comes to providing for me
He′s alright
He's my inspiration
You don′t understand our relation
When I'm down, he′s the one
Who makes me feel so good inside
He keeps me going
Makes me feel so alive--

[Talk:]
Look, I don't know who you trying to fool
But even momma said we should tell you
'Cause all that stuff about him provided for you
I mean where was he at when your rent was back three months
And we had to put our little bit of money together,
To keep a roof over your and his heads
Hey, I′m not trying to get in your business,
But I just couldn′t hold it back no more

I just love the man
I don't care what you say
I just love the man
′Cause he treats me the way
I want to be treated
When I need to be needed

[Repeat Verse]

[Repeat singalong]

I just love the man
I don't care what you say
