Love That Man Lyrics

[Intro]
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh

[Verse 1]
Things just ain't the way that they used to be
Back in the day when a man meant security
After working hard all week
Baby kick back and throw up your feet
Let me fix you a treat
So it might be a little bit sweet
But he's worth it
He deserves it (Uh-huh)
He may not be perfect
But he's all the man I need
He's ready and willing
Gives me the feeling (Ah)
And whenever we're together
I know I'm where I belong

[Chorus]
It's just the way he looks into your eyes
Love that man
It's the love he gives that makes you fantasize
Love that man, yeah
It's the time he takes to show you that he cares
And he's always there (He's always, always there)
Don't you love that man? (I know)
[Verse 2]
Things ain't the way they used to be, ah
When a woman and a man work hard to be
Happy in love and staying together, ooh
(Let's stay that way forever)
When you get into a fight
Just try and work it out
Never give up on him
That's not what love's about
Stay true to your feelings
And remember
All the things he's done for you

[Chorus]
It's just the way he looks into your eyes
Love that man
It's the love he gives that makes you fantasize
Love that man
It's the time he takes to show you that he cares
And he's always there (He's always, always there)
Don't you love that man? (I know)
It's just the way he looks into your eyes
Love that man, oh
It's the love he gives that makes you fantasize
Love that man, ah
It's the time he takes to show you that he cares (I do, ah, I do, ah)
And he's always there (He's always always there)
Don't you love that man? (I know)
[Bridge]
You'd better know I'm talking about that old-school love
That everlasting feeling can't never be too much, ah
Somebody loves you, heart and soul
Hold on (Hold on), don't stop (Don't stop)
And never let him go (And never let him go)

[Chorus]
It's just the way he looks into your eyes
Love that man
It's the love he gives that makes you fantasize
Love that man, I do
It's the time he takes to show you that he cares
And he's always there (Always, always there)
Don't you love that man? (I know)
It's just the way he looks into your eyes
But I do, I do
It's the love he gives that makes you fantasize
I love that man
It's the time he takes to show you that he cares
And he's always there (He's always there)
Don't you love that man? (I love my man)
It's just the way he looks into your eyes
I love that man
It's the love he gives that makes you fantasize
I love that man
It's the time he takes to show you that he cares
And he's always there
Don't you love that man?
