Performed Lena Horne) <br /> <br /> Oh listen, sister, <br /> I love my mister man, <br /> And I can't tell yo' why, <br /> Dere ain't no reason <br /> Why I should love dat man. <br /> It must be sumpin' dat de angels done plan. <br /> <br /> Refrain: <br /> <br /> Fish got to swim, birds got to fly, <br /> I got to love one man till I die. <br /> Can't help lovin' dat man of mine. <br /> Tell me he's lazy, tell me he's slow, <br /> Tell me I'm crazy (maybe I know). <br /> Can't help lovin' dat man of mine. <br /> When he goes away <br /> Dat's a rainy day, <br /> But when he comes back dat day is fine, <br /> De sun will shine! <br /> He kin come home as late as kin be, <br /> Home widout him ain't no home to me. <br /> Can't help lovin' dat man of mine. <br /> ~~~ <br /> My man is shif'less <br /> An' good for nuthin' too <br /> (He's mah man jes' de same) <br /> <br /> He's never round here <br /> When dere is work to do. <br /> He's never round here when dere's workin' to do. <br /> De chimbley's smokin', <br /> De roof is leakin' in, <br /> But he don't seem to care. <br /> He kin be happy <br /> Wid jes' a sip of gin. <br /> Ah even love him when his kisses got gin! <br /> <br /> Repeat Refrain [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/j/jerome+kern/cant+help+lovin+dat+man_20172915.html ]
