Lyrics
I need my mammy
I ain't got a friend
My heart is broken
It won't ever mend
I ain't much carin'
Just where it will end
But I must have that man
I'm like an oven
That's cryin' for heat
He treats me awfully
Each time that we meet
It's just unlawful
How that boy can cheat
But I must have that man
He's hot as Hades
A lady's not safe in his arms
When she's kissed
And I'm afraid, when he's cooled off
Maybe I'm ruled off his list
I'll never be missed
I need that person much worse than 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
He's hot as Hades
A lady's not safe in his arms
When she's kissed
And I'm afraid, when he's cooled off
Maybe I'm ruled off his list
I'll never be missed
I need that person much worse than 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
