Lyrics My Man and Me - Elaine Paige

My Man and Me

I close my eyes and try to sleep
I count the tears I cry instead of counting sheep
The sun has gone and left the rain with me
And if this is love it’s not all it’s cracked up to be
I’m telling you this much for free
Things ain’t what they used to be
With my man and me
I walk alone through stormy nights
Longing for company
It don’t seem right somehow
To love so much and hurt so desperately
Maybe I should leave
But it seems like we’re caught between
The devil and the deep blue sea
Things ain’t what they used to be
With my man and me
Hold on!
How long can I wait for these feelings to go away?
Where is he now?
Where did he go?
Does he really love me?
I’ll never know
Those words of love come tumbling down
Just like the winter snow
Since he’s not around
I’ll light a fire to warm my lonely heart
Living in the past
I’ve tried but honestly
I just can’t shake the memory
Thinking how it used to be
With my man and me
I’ve tried but honestly
I just can’t shake the memory
Thinking how it used to be
My man and me.
