I Must Have That Man

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's 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 falf alive and it's drivin' me mad He's only human if he's to be had I must have that man 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's 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 --- I Must Have That Man - Lester Young
