Billie's Blues (aka I Love My Man) Lyrics - The Complete Billie Holiday On Verve, 1945-1959 - Billie Holiday

I love my man I'm liar if I say I don't 

I love my man I'm liar if I say I don't 

But I'll quit my man 

I'm liar if I say I won't 

I've been your slave baby 

Ever since I've been your babe 

I've been your slave 

Ever since I've been your babe 

But before I'll be your dog 

I'll see you in your grave

My man wouldn't give me no breakfast 

Wouldn't give me no dinner 

Squawked about my supper then he put me outdoors 

Had the nerve to lay a matchbox on my clothes 

I didn't have so many 

But I have a long, long ways to go 

I ain't good-looking 

And my hair ain't curls 

I ain't good-looking 

And my hair ain't curls 

But my mother she give me something 

It's going to carry me through this world 

Some men like me 'cause I'm happy 

Some 'cause I'm snappy 

Some call me honey 

Others think I've got money

Some tell me Billie, 

Baby you're built for speed 

Now, if you put that all together 

Makes me everything a good man needs
