Screamin' Jay Hawkins - I Is lyrics

rate me

You said you didn't want me,

You said I wasn't right,

You say I like to fuss all day

Come home and pick a fight

You told your bald-headed mama about me

Went to court and told the judge, too

Even told your wire-haired sister

I ain't the man for you

Well, I is

Oh, yeah, oh yeah, I is

Oh, yes I is

I am the man for you

I give my heart and soul to you

But what dis you give in return?

A bunch of beans and buttermilk

And some cornbread that was burned

I heard you on the phone yesterday

You told your boyfriend I won't be home

You better pack your bags and move over there

'Cause I won't be home alone

Oh yeah oh yeah, I is

Woah, I is

I am the man for you!
