Ida Cox — I Love My Man Better Than I Love Myself

[Verse] I've got a man that I'm just wild about He's forever on my mind He don't do nothing but walk about He's the sweetest man I can find He stays up for me three nights at a time Don't let me catch you with this man of mine I love my man with all my life I'm certainly going to be his wife Now listen to my plea These words I say are history [Chorus] Lord, I love my man better than I love myself Lord, his way of lovin' certainly can't be less Honey, he's so long and tall Got a shape just like a cannonball And when he starts to lovin', you're bound to fall I wonder what my man's darn done to poor me He's sweeter than persimmon that ever fell from a tree Going to love him 'til the day I die Want this whole world to hear me cry That I love my good man better than I love myself [Chorus] I wonder what my man's darn done to poor me I believe to my soul my man has poisoned me Going to love him 'til the day I die Want this whole world to hear me cry That I love my good man better than I love myself
