Jerome Kern - Can't Help Lovin' That Man lyrics

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 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 Loewe'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 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...
