[Verse 1]
Sometimes I say:
"If I just could get away
With my man!"
He'd go straight, sure as fate
For it never is too late
For a man
[Verse 2]
I just like to dream
Of a cottage by a stream
With my man
Where a few flowers grew
And perhaps a kid or two
Like my man
[Bridge]
And then my eyes get wet
I 'most forget
'Til he gets hot and tells me not to talk such rot
[Verse 3]
Oh my man, I love him so
He'll never know
All my life is just despair
But I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright, all right!
[Verse 4]
What's the difference if I say
"I'll go away"
When I know I'll come back
On my knees someday?
For whatever my man is
I am his forever more
