My Man

My Man - Carmen McRae

Sometimes I say

If I just could get away

With my man

He'd go straght 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 my not to talk such rot

Oh my man I love him so

Hell never know

All my life is just a spare

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

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
