I Got a Man Lyrics by Shirley Horn

Light Out of Darkness

1993

[Verse 1]
I got a man, way over town
That's good to me, oh yeah
I got a man, way over town
That's good to me, oh yeah
He gives me money when I'm in need
Yeah, he's a kind of friend indeed
I've got a man, way over town
That's good to me, oh yeah
[Verse 2]
He saves his loving, early in the morning
Just for me, oh yeah
He saves his loving, early in the morning
Just for me, oh yeah
He saves his loving, just for me
He's the kind of man I need
I got a man, way over town
That's good to me, oh yeah
[Bridge]
He's there to love me
Both day and nights
Never grumbles or fusses
Always treats me right
Never running in the streets at night
And leaving me alone
She knows a man's place
Is right there in that home
[Verse 3]
I've got a man, way over town
That's good to me, oh yeah
I got a man, way over town
That's good to me, oh yeah
Oh, he's my baby, don't you understand?
He is my ever-loving man
I got a man now, over town
That's good to me, oh yes
[Outro]
Don't you know it's alright
Don't you know it's alright
Don't you know it's alright, oh yeah
Mm-mm, uh-uh, uh-uh, he's alright
He's alright, he's alright
