CAN`T HELP LOVIN` DAT MAN — текст песни (Billie Holiday)

Oscar Hammerstein II / Jerome Kern

Oh listen, sister
I love my mister man and I can`t tell you why
Dere ain`t no reason why I should love dat man
It must be sumpin` dat de angels done plan
De chimbley`s smokin`
De roof is leakin` in
But he don`t seem to care
He can be happy
With jes` a sip of gin
I even loves him when his kisses got gin

Fish got to swim and birds got to fly
I got to love man till I die
Can`t help lovin` that man of mine
Tell me he`s lazy
Tell me he`s slow
Tell me I`m crazy, maybe, I know
Can`t help lovin` that man of mine
When he goes away
Dat`s a rainy day
And when he comes back dat day is fine
The sun will shine
He can come home as late as can be
Home without him ain`t no home to me
Can`t help lovin` that man of mine
