Lyrics
Oh listen, sister
I love my mister man
And I can't tell you why
There ain't no reason why I should love that man
It must be something that the angels did plan
The chimney's smoking
The roof is leaking in
But he don't seem to care
He can be happy with just a sip of gin
I even love him when his kisses got gin
Fish got to swim, birds got to fly
I got to love one man 'til I die
Can't help loving 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 loving that man of mine
When he goes away that's a rainy day
And when he comes back that 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 loving that man of mine
Writer(s): Jerome Kern, Oscar Ii Hammerstein
