And though I sometimes act so crazy,
it's when I don't want him to go
You know I really love a man,
but left alone, why can't a poor girl do?
I tried it all and found no an swer,
There ain't no substitute for you
You know I really love the man
Who leaves me lonely when I need him so
But he just tastes of sweet sorrow
When I know that he must go
You know I really love the man
I close my eyes to all temptations,
yes I will, I'll just wait till he
it's cause my baby is back in town
To know the state I am in,
well just look at me grin
You know it's always that good
You know I really love the man
I close my eyes to all temptations
Oh yes, I'll just wait till he comes
You know I really love a man
why can't a poor girl do?
I've tried it all and found no an swer
No, no, there ain't no substitute for you
I tried it all, I found no answer
Oh, there ain't no one I'm but you
