Billie Holiday — I Must Have That Man 01-25-1937

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] 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
