I Love My Man lyrics

Billie holiday<br>
<br>
I love my man<br>
On my life i say i don't<br>
<br>
I love my man<br>
On my life i say i don't<br>
<br>
But i'll quit my man<br>
On my life i say i won't<br>
I've been your slave baby<br>
Ever since i've been your way<br>
I've been your slave<br>
Ever since i've been your faith<br>
But before i be your dog<br>
I'll see you in your grave<br>
<br>
My man wouldn't give me no breakfast<br>
Wouldn't give me no dinner<br>
Squacked about my supper<br>
Then he put me outdoors<br>
Heaven erred to late<br>
A matchbox on my clothes<br>
I didn't have so many<br>
But i had a long long ways to go<br>
<br>
I ain't good looking<br>
And my hair ain't curls<br>
I ain't good looking<br>
And my hair ain't curls<br>
<br>
But my mother she give me something<br>
It's going to carry me through this world<br>
Some man like me 'cuz i'm happy<br>
Some 'cuz i'm snappy<br>
Some call me honey<br>
Others think i've got money<br>
Some say billie<br>
Baby you're built for speed<br>
Now if you put that altogether<br>
Makes me everything a good man needs<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
