It cost me a lot 
But there's one thing that I've got 
It's my man 
It's my man 
Cold or wet 
Tired, you bet 
All of this I'll soon forget 
With my man 

He's not much on looks 
He's no hero out of books 
But I love him 
Yes, I love him 

Two or three girls 
Has he 
That he likes as well as me 
But I love him 

I don't know why I should 
He isn't [bad word] 
He beats me, too 
What can I do? 

Oh, my man, I love him so 
He'll never know 
All my life is just despair
But I don't care 
When he takes me in his arms 
The world is bright 
All right 

What's the difference if I say 
I'll go away 
When I know [bad word] back 
On my knees someday 

For whatever my man is 
I'm his forevermore
