The Man I Love

The Man I Love 

Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington

Someday he'll come along, The man I love
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
Then in a little while, He'll take my hand
And though it seems absurd
I know we both won't say a word

Maybe I shall meet him Sunday,
Maybe Monday, maybe not
Still I'm sure to meet him one day
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day

He'll build a little home, That's meant for two
From which I'll never roam, Who would, would you
And so all else above
I'm dreaming of the man I love

PS: aconselho ouvirem a versão da Lisa Hannigan também!

Wrong
Everything But The Girl





 I wanted everything for a little while
Why shouldn't I
I wanted to know what it was like
I pushed you too far
And you started laying down the law
Til I didn't love you anymore

Chorus:

Now you can pull a little bit
And there's a little give and take
And love will stretch a little bit
But finally it's gonna break
Wherever you go I will follow you
'Cause I was wrong
Wherever you go I will follow you
'Cause I was wrong

So there we both were in that little house
Just hanging out
You didn't know what you were about
And you turned to me as you were
Threading daisies on a chain
You said it's decision time again

(Repeat Chorus)

And the ground's gonna swallow you
I was wrong
'Cause I was wrong
I wanted everything for a little while
Why shouldn't I
I wanted to know what he was like

(Repeat Chorus)

Wherever you go I will follow you
'Cause I was wrong
