My Man

My Man - Fanny Brice

It cost me a lot

But there's one thing that I've got

It's my man

Cold or wet

Tired you bet

All of this I'll soon forget

With my man

He's not much on looks

He's no hero out of books

But I love him

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 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 be back

On my knees someday

For whatever my man is

I'm his forevermore

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
