THAT MAN
(Johnny Nash)

Billie Jo Spears - 1969


 

I've got to leave that man alone that makes a fool of me
I've got to leave while I've still got my pride
If I stay around much longer, it'll be too late for me
I'd better listen to that voice I hear inside

That man doesn't love you, girl
Can't you see he's just usin' you
That man doesn't love you, girl
That man ain't the man for you

I've seen the way he looks at girls with hunger in his eyes
And I've felt the coldness of his lips on mine
He still tells me he loves me, but I can tell he lies
'Cause I hear that little voice inside my mind

That man doesn't love you, girl
Can't you see he's just usin' you
That man doesn't love you, girl
That man ain't the man for you
That man ain't the man for you
