CAN'T HELP LOVIN' THAT MAN
Oh listen sister,
I love my mister man,
And I can't tell you why
There is no reason why I should love that man,
It mus' be somethin' that de angels have planned.
Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly,
I gotta love one man till I die.
Can't help lovin' that man of mine.
Tell me he's lazy, tell me he's slow,
Tell me I'm crazy, maybe I know.
Can't help lovin' that man of mine
When he goes away, that's a rainy day,
And when he comes back that day is fine,
The sun will shine!
He can come home as late as can be,
Home without him ain't no home to me,
Can't help lovin' that man of mine.
[speaking]I, I first heard that song when Ava Gardner sang it in the movie, because I had no idea that it came from a Broadway Show, 'cause I went to the movies long before I ever went to the theater, who knew from the theater. I'd go to the Loew's Kings in Flatbush, every Saturday to escape into a world of fantasy and also because they had the greatest "mellowrolls". A "mellowroll" was this little ice-cream log, a lot of you must know that, wrapped in paper that sat on a cone, anyway, I'll never forget, uh, when I was thirteen...Some things improve with age...This Friend of my named Barbara Sankell, who knew that I wanted to be an actress, told me about this actor named Marlon Brando, who was in a movie called "Guys and Dolls", which I also didn't know that it was from a Broadway play. And so I went to see it, and it was truly a life altering experience, seeing Marlon Brando for the first time. It was the only movie that I ever sat through twice, just to get to see him again and to have another "mellowroll",
anyway, I'll never forget this song...
We recommend: Lost In Emptiness
Not gonna make up my mind tonight
I'm not gonna pretend
I cleared out of town so I could clear my head
I'm not gonna smile all the shit that's happened is gonna take a while
I don't want to be your friend
Just take off your clothes and get into my bed
And the press is after you
Jumping over fences just to see who's cool
And now I stand accused
I put a hole in your heart
Then I fed it to you
I'm not gonna think
about all the shit you want me to think
I'm not gonna say
who I spent my time with yesterday
I'm not gonna c
