I must have that man

I'm so unhappy,
Left all alone
Ain't got nobody to love now
The man I long for
Is not strong for me
He's not an angel,
But I don't care,
Perhaps a change'll come some day,
Whatever he is
I want to be his way.
Don't want my mammy,
Don't need a friend,
My heart is broken,
It won't ever mend,
I ain't much carin'
Just where I will end,
I must have that man!
I'm like an oven
That's cryin' for heat,
He treats me awful
Each time that we meet
It's just unlawful how that boy can cheat,
But I must have that man!
Hades, a lady's
Not safe in his arms when she's kissed
But I'm afraid that he's cooled off
And maybe I'm ruled off
I might be ruled off his list
I need the person much worse n' just bad
I'm half alive n' he's drivin' me mad,
He's only human, if he's to be had
I must have that man!
