SAFE IN THE LOVE OF MY MAN 
(Martha Sharp)


Jean Shepard - 1973



 

I know a girl who has a nice apartment
She spends all her hard earned money just on clothes
But she lives in daily fear of each new wrinkle in her face
And when her birthday rolls around nobody knows

She goes out ev'ry weekend to the party
That the swingin' singles give all over town
And though she doesn't always come back home alone at night
She says gettin' up each mornin' gets her down

I'm glad I'm safe in the arms of my man
Thank God I'm safe in the love of my man
If there's something I can't handle, I know my baby can
I'm glad I'm safe in the love of my man

Sometimes he can't afford to buy me presents
But his warm smile says he loves me as I am
'Cause the most important thing is still what's here inside me
That's the faith and love I keep for just one man

I'm glad I'm safe in the arms of my man
Thank God I'm safe in the love of my man
If there's something I can't handle, I know my baby can
I'm glad I'm safe in the love of my man
