I Must Have That Man [01-25-1937] Billie Holiday

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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
