MY MAN 
(Billy Sherrill / Norro Wilson / Carmol Taylor)

Tammy Wynette - 1972

 

My man understands
He holds me in the palm of his hand
And I like it,  I like it

He's a dream the real thing
He always makes me feel like a queen
And I love it, I love it

His arms are warm
They keep me away from harm
And I'm proud of it, so proud of it

He's mine he's fine
He makes a funny feeling go up my spine
And I wanna keep it like this all the time

He's got what I want when I want it
He's got what I need when I need it
I'd fight a million just to keep it
Just to keep on holdin' to the precious love he gives me

How I hate to sit and wait
When I know he's got to work late
I can't stand it can't stand it

But when he walks in
And I'm in his lovin' arms again
I forget it I forget it

His touch is too much
He knows how to love me just enough
And I love him I love him

My man understands
He holds me in the palm of his hand
And I wanna keep it like this all the time

(Instrumental Break)

He's got what I want when I want it
He's got what I need when I need it
I'd fight a million just to keep it
Just to keep on holdin' to the precious love he gives me

My man understands
He holds me in the palm of his hand
And I wanna keep it like this all the time
Yeah, I wanna keep it like this all the time
