It's Only A Man (1/25/56)

It's Only A Man - Ella Fitzgerald

Why am I crying my eyes out

Waiting in vain for his call

Supposin' he roams nights

And never come home nights at all

It's only a man

Love is a candle that dies out

Just when you think it's aflame

So I keep on saying

"You fool why keep playing the game

It's only a man "

I could try

Forgetting my chances are slim

But here am I

Regretting the flame growing dim

Torching for him

Each day I say that I'll leave him

Pack up my heartache and go

But trust him or doubt him

I can't live without him

Although it's only a man

Each day I say that I'll leave him

Pack up my heartache and go

But trust him or doubt him

I can't live without him

Although it's only a man

It's only a man
