Nina Simone › Lyrics › Be My Husband

Be my husband, man, I be your wife
Be my husband, man, I be your wife
Be my husband, man, I be your wife
Loving all of you the rest of your life, yeah

If you promise me you'll be my man, yeah
If you promise me you'll be my man
If you promise me you'll be my man
I will love you the best I can, yeah

Stick to the promise, man, you made me
Stick to the promise, man, that you made me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Stick the promise, man, that you made me
That you stay away from Rosalie, yeah

Oh daddy, love me good
Oh daddy, now love me good
Oh daddy, love me good
Oh daddy, now love me good

If you want me to cook and sew
If you want me to cook and sew
If you want me to cook and sew, yeah
Outside of you there is no place to go

Please don't treat me so doggone mean
Please don't treat me so doggone mean
Please don't treat me so now doggone mean, yeah
You're the meanest man I ever see

Oh daddy, now love me good
Oh daddy, love me good, yeah
Oh daddy, love me good, yeah
Oh daddy, love me good
