The Man I Love
Liane Foly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And he'll be big and strong the man I love
And when he comes my way
I'll do my best to make him stay
He'll look at me and smile I'll understand
And though it seems absurd
I know we both won't say a word
Maybe I shall meet him Sunday
Maybe Monday not
Still I'm sure to meet him one day
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day
He'll build a little home just meant for two
From which I'll never roam who would would you
And so all else I'm waiting for the man I love
