My Man
Billie Holiday
3:01It ain't so much a question of not knowin' what to do I knowed what's right and wrong since I been ten I heared a lot of stories and I reckon they're true About how girls are put upon by men I know I mustn't fall into the pit But when I'm with a feller I forget I'm just a girl who cain't say no I'm in a terrible fix I always say "Come on, let's go" Just when I oughta say "Nix" When a person tries to kiss a girl I know she oughta give his face a smack But as soon as someone kisses me I somehow sorta wanna kiss him back I'm just a fool when lights are low I cain't be prissy and quaint I ain't the type that can faint How can I be what I ain't I cain't say no Whatcha gonna do when a fella gets flirty And starts to talk purty Whatcha gonna do S'posin' that he says that your lips are like cherries Or roses or berries Whatcha gonna do S'posin' that he says that you're sweeter'n cream And he's gotta have cream or die Whatcha gonna do when he talks that way Spit in his eye? I'm just a girl who cain't say no Kissin's my favorite food With or without the mistletoe I'm in a holiday mood Other girls are coy and hard to catch But other girls ain't havin' any fun Every time I lose a wrestlin' match I have a funny feelin' that I won Though I can feel the undertow I never make a complaint 'Til it's too late for restraint Then when I want to I cain't I cain't say no
