BILLIE HOLIDAY - CAN'T HELP LOVIN' DAT MAN lyrics

rate me

Oscar Hammerstein II / Jerome Kern

Oh listen, sister

I love my mister man and I can't tell you why

Dere ain't no reason why I should love dat man

It must be sumpin' dat de angels done plan

De chimbley's smokin'

De roof is leakin' in

But he don't seem to care

He can be happy

With jes' a sip of gin

I even loves him when his kisses got gin

Fish got to swim and birds got to fly

I got to love man till I die

Can't help lovin' that man of mine

Tell me he's lazy

Tell me he's slow

Tell me I'm crazy, maybe, I know

Can't help lovin' that man of mine

When he goes away

Dat's a rainy day

And when he comes back dat day is fine

The sun will shine

He can come home as late as can be

Home without him ain't no home to me

Can't help lovin' that man of mine
