Abbey Lincoln - I Must Have That Man Lyrics

[Intro]
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 some day
Whatever he is, I wanna be his way

[Verse 1]
Don't want a mother, I don't need a friend
My heart is achin', it won't ever mend
I ain't much carin' just where I will end
But I must have that man

[Verse 2]
Like an oven that's cryin' for heat
He treats me awful each time we meet
It's just unlawful how he can cheat
But I must have that man

[Bridge]
He's hot as Hades
A lady's not safe in his arms when she's kissed
I'm afraid he's cooled off
And maybe I'm ruled off his list
[Verse 3]
I need that person much worse'n just bad
I'm half alive and he's drivin' me mad
He's only human, he can be had
And I must have that man

[Trumpet Solo]

[Tenor Saxophone Solo]

[Bridge]
He's hot as Hades
A lady's not safe in his arms when she's kissed
And I'm afraid he's cooled off
And maybe I'm ruled off his list
I'll never be missed

[Verse 3]
I need that person much worse'n just bad
I'm half alive and he's drivin' me mad
He's only human and he can be had
And I will have that man
