Lyrics Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man - Billie Holiday, Teddy Wilson, Buck Clayton

Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man

Fish got to swim, birds got to fly
I got to love one man till I die
Can’t help lovin' dat man of mine
Tell me he’s lazy, tell me he’s slow
Tell me I’m crazy, (maybe I know)
Can’t help lovin' dat man of mine
Oh listen sister
I love my mister man
And I can’t tell you' why
Dere ain’t no reason
Why Ishould love dat man
It mus' be sumpin dat de angels done plan
Fish got to swim, birds got to fly
I got to love one man till I die
Can’t help lovin' dat man of mine
Tell me he’s lazy, tell me he’s slow
Tell me I’m crazy, (maybe I know)
Can’t help lovin' dat man of mine
When he goes away
Dat’s a rainy day
And when he comes back dat day is fine
De sun will shine!
He kin come home as late as can be
Home without him ain’t no home to me
Can’t help lovin' dat man of mine
De chimney’s smokin'
De roof is leakin' in
But he don’t seem to care
Dere ain’t no reason why I should love dat man
And why do you love that man?
It mus' be sumpin' dat de angels done plan
Fish got to swim, While de birds fly
Birds got to fly, Till the world dies
I got to love My gal loves me;
One man till I die.
Dat’s why she’s
Can’t help lovin' True gal of mine
Dat man of mine.
She may be lazy
Tell me he’s lazy, and slow as cold
Tell me he’s slow, Molasses, I know
Tell me I’m crazy, Can’t help lovin'
(maybe I know).
Dat gal of mine
Can’t help lovin' When I goes away
Dat man of mine.
Dat’s lovin
When he goes away, All de rainy days
Dat’s a rainy day, Dat’s loving
And when he comes back An' when I comes
Dat day is fine, Back' dat day is fine
De sun will shine!
Yes, sister Yes, sister
He kin come home She kin come home
As late as can be, as late as kin be
Home without him Home widout her
Ain’t no home to me, Ain’t no home to me
Can’t help lovin' Can’t help lovin'
Dat man of mine.
Dat gal of mine
