It cost me a lot
But there's one thing that I've got
It's my man
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
Yes, 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 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 someday
For whatever my man is
I'm his forevermoreBaby, what is wrong with you
Can't you see I want you around
And baby...
I'm not cryin'
I'm just dyin' for some touch
[Chorus:]
And if you don't give me your attention
I'll get attention from somebody else
I don't know what your intentions are
I have no patience to be put on the shelf
Mmm baby
You say you love me
Then you don't even know if I'm around
And baby
If you're not lying
Then keep trying or I'll be gone
[Chorus]
Baby, if you show me now
There may still be time
To change my heart
But baby
If you don't need me
You'll both leave me
When your cryin' starts
[Repeat chorus]
