Can't Help Lovin' That Man

  • Originally from the 1936 Broadway musical, Showboat
  • Music by Jerome Kern and Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II
  • This version taken from Barbra Streisand's 1985 album, The Broadway Album


Oh listen sister
I love my mister man
And I can't tell you
Why there is no reason
Why I should love that man
It must be something
That the angels have planned

Fish gotta swim
Birds gotta fly
I gotta love one 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
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 lovin' that man of mine
Can't help lovin' that man of mine.
