I Must Have That Man

Lyrics

[Trumpet solo: Louis Armstrong] [Verse] I'm so unhappy, left all alone Ain't got nobody to love now The man I long for is not so strong for me He's not an angel but I don't care Perhaps a change'll come some day Whatever he is, I want to be his way [Chorus 1 with trumpet: Louis Armstrong] Don't want my mammy, I don't need a friend My heart is broken, it won't ever mend I ain't much carin' just where I will end I must have that man [Chorus 2 with trumpet: Louis Armstrong] I'm like an oven that's crying for heat He treats me awful each time that we meet It's just unlawful how that boy can cheat But I must have that man [Bridge with clarinet: Jimmy Noone] He's hot as Hades, a lady's Not safe in his arms when she's kissed But I'm afraid that he's cooled off And maybe I'm ruled off his list I'll never be missed [Chorus 3 with clarinet: Jimmy Noone] I need that person much worse 'n' just bad I'm half alive and he's drivin' me mad He's only human, if he's to be had I must have that man [Trumpet led half-Chorus: Louis Armstrong] [Bridge] He's hot as Hades, a lady's Not safe in his arms when she's kissed But I'm afraid that he's cooled off And maybe I'm ruled off his list I'll never be missed [Chorus 3] I need that person much worse 'n' just bad I'm half alive and he's drivin' me mad He's only human, if he's to be had I must have that man
