My Man (Live 1994)

[Intro]

Even though this next song is a classic victim song

Uh, I first sang it in 1965 as a tribute to Fanny Brice

So forgive me if I break my own rules and sing it tonight

[Chorus]

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, alright

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

[Verse]

It cost me a lot but there's one thing that I've got

It's my man

Cold and wet, tired, you bet

But all that I soon forget with my man

He's not much for looks

And no hero out of books is my man

Two or three girls has he

That he likes as well as me but I love him

[Chorus]

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, alright

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

[Outro]

Thank you, thank you
