Lyrics for I Must Have That Man!
I need my mammy I ain't got a friend My heart is broken It won't ever mend I ain't much carin' Just where it will end But I must have that man I'm like an oven That's cryin' for heat He treats me awfully 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 And I'm afraid, when he's cooled off Maybe I'm ruled off his list I'll never be missed I need that person much worse than just bad I'm half alive and he's drivin' me mad He's only human if he's to be had I must have that man He's hot as Hades A lady's not safe in his arms When she's kissed And I'm afraid, when he's cooled off Maybe I'm ruled off his list I'll never be missed I need that person much worse than just bad I'm half alive and he's drivin' me mad He's only human if he's to be had I must have that man
