1. You know I really love the man
He means much more than he will ever know
And though I sometimes act so crazy
I don't want him to go
You know I really love the man
But left alone what can a poor girl do
I've tried it all and found no answer
There ain't no substitute for you
2. You know I really love the man
Who leaves me lonely when I need him so
But he just tastes of sweetest sorrow
When I know that he must go
You know I really love the man
Because you know he's not like other men
I close my eyes to all temptations
I'll wait till he comes back again.
3. So if you see me walk by
With a glint in my eye
It's 'cos my baby is back in town
To know the state I am in
Well, just look at my grin
You know it's always that good
When he's around.
