I Love My Man Better Than I Love Myself by Ida Cox
Performed by
Ida CoxI Love My Man Better Than I Love Myself Lyrics
[Verse]
I've got a man that I'm just wild about
He's forever on my mind
He don't do nothing but walk about
He's the sweetest man I can find
He stays up for me three nights at a time
Don't let me catch you with this man of mine
I love my man with all my life
I'm certainly going to be his wife
Now listen to my plea
These words I say are history
[Chorus]
Lord, I love my man better than I love myself
Lord, his way of lovin' certainly can't be less
Honey, he's so long and tall
Got a shape just like a cannonball
And when he starts to lovin', you're bound to fall
I wonder what my man's darn done to poor me
He's sweeter than persimmon that ever fell from a tree
Going to love him 'til the day I die
Want this whole world to hear me cry
That I love my good man better than I love myself
[Chorus]
I wonder what my man's darn done to poor me
I believe to my soul my man has poisoned me
Going to love him 'til the day I die
Want this whole world to hear me cry
That I love my good man better than I love myself
