My Man Lyrics - Paris Impressions - Erroll Garner

It's cost me a lot 

But there's one thing that I've got 

It's my man 

Cold and wet, tired you bet 

But all that I soon forget 

With my man 

He's not much for looks 

And no hero out of books 

Is my man 

Two or three girls has he 

That he likes as well as me 

But I love him! 

I don't know why I should 

He isn't good, he isn't true 

He beats me too 

What can I do? 

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 some day? 

For whatever my man is 

I am his forever more 

Oh, my man I love him 

Sometimes I say 

If I could just 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 most forget till 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 some day? 

For what ever my man is 

I am his forever more
