Lyrics I Must Have That Man! - Audra McDonald

I Must Have That Man!

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!
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!
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
I need that person much worse’n than just bad
I’m half alive, and he’s drivin' me mad
He’s only human if he’s to be had
Oh, but I must have that man!
I’m so unhappy, left all alone
Ain’t got nobody to love now
The man I long for is not so strong for me
He’s not an angel, but I don’t care
Perhaps a change’ll come someday
Whatever he is, I want to be his way
And I’ll cry everyday
Ooh, ooh
I ain’t much carin' just where I will end
But I must have that man!
He’s hot as Hades
A lady’s not safe in his arms when she’s been kissed
But I’m afraid that he’s cooled off
And maybe I’m ruled off his list
Oh, I’ll never be missed
I need that person much worse’n just bad
I’m half alive, and he’s drivin' me mad
He’s only human if he’s to be had
Oh, but I must have that man!
