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 want to be his way 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 But 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 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 just bad I'm half alive and it's drivin' me mad He's only human, if he's to be had I must have that man When all the world is topsy turvy One kiss from him and away go worry That's how I know I must have that man
