The Man I Love
Jean-Paul Brodbeck Trio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who says he want you for his own when there's a wedding ring on his hand
Oh to the girl who falls in love and finds that he's worthless as sand
Sorrow she'll bear till this grey in her hair for falling in love with a married man
A married man don't want your heart he only wants a good time
When he's through with you he'll leave you blue
You'll find you're stranded without a dime
Oh to the girl who falls in love and finds that he's wearing the ring
A man who has a loving wife and cannot to her be true
Who's just one thing after his fling he'll do the very same thing to you
Oh to the girl who falls in love and finds that she's wearing the ring
Instead of rose she's left in the blow for falling in love with a married man
Oh single girls along in the world for falling in love with a married man
