My Man Lyrics
Tammy Wynette
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 holding 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
[ steel ]
He's got what I want when I want it...
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
