[Verse 1:]
It's caused me a lot
But there's one thing that I got
It's my man
Cold and wet
Tied, you bet
All of that I'll soon forget
With my man
He's not much for looks
And no hero out of books
But I love him
[Verse 2:]
Two or three girls has he
That he likes as well as me
But I love him
I don't know why I should
He isn't true
He beats me to
What can I do?
Oh my man
I love him so
He'll never know
All my life is just despair
I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is right
All right
[Verse 3:]
What's the difference if I say
I'll go away
When I know
I'll come back on my knees some day
Whatever my man is
I am his for ever more
What's the difference if I say
I'll go away
When I know
I'll come back on my knees some day
Whatever my man is
I am his for ever more
It's caused me a lot
But there's one thing that I got
It's my man
Cold and wet
Tied, you bet
All of that I'll soon forget
With my man
He's not much for looks
And no hero out of books
But I love him
[Verse 2:]
Two or three girls has he
That he likes as well as me
But I love him
I don't know why I should
He isn't true
He beats me to
What can I do?
Oh my man
I love him so
He'll never know
All my life is just despair
I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is right
All right
[Verse 3:]
What's the difference if I say
I'll go away
When I know
I'll come back on my knees some day
Whatever my man is
I am his for ever more
What's the difference if I say
I'll go away
When I know
I'll come back on my knees some day
Whatever my man is
I am his for ever more
