WHAT KIND O' MAN IS YOU?
(Hoagy Carmichael)


Eddie Lang's Orch. (vocal: Mildred Bailey) - 1929
Irving Mills & His Hotsy Totsy Orch. (Instr.) - 1929


I've been wondering since last night
If it can be true
That my mind is quite alright
'Cause I'm in love with you

You were just another man
When you came my way
Now it's different, baby, and
I hope you've come to stay

You stole my heart, tell me
What kind o' man is you
>From the start you showed me
Lovin' ways I never knew

I never dreamed that such a little pettin'
Would ever be upsettin' to me
I never seemed just like that kind of woman
I guess it's 'cause I'm human, you see

You kissed my lips, tell me
What kind o' man is you
And I'm yours still, against my will
What kind o' man is you
