Lyric Can t Help Lovin Dat Man

from "Porgy & Bess"

Fish got to swim, birds got to fly,
I got to love one man till I die.
Can t help lovin dat 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 dat man of mine.

Oh listen sister,
I love my mister man,
And I can t tell you why
Dere ain t no reason
Why Ishould love dat man,
It mus be sumpin dat de angels done plan.

Fish got to swim, birds got to fly,
I got to love one man till I die.
Can t help lovin dat 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 dat man of mine.

When he goes away,
Dat s a rainy day,
And when he comes back dat day is fine,
De sun will shine!
He kin come home as late as can be,
Home without him ain t no home to me,
Can t help lovin dat man of mine. De chimney s smokin
De roof is leakin in,
But he don t seem to care.
Dere ain t no reason why I should love dat man.

And why do you love that man?

It mus be sumpin dat de angels done plan.

Fish got to swim,
Birds got to fly,
I got to love
One man till I die.
Can t help lovin
Dat 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
Dat man of mine.
When he goes away,
Dat s a rainy day,
And when he comes back
Dat day is fine,
De sun will shine!

Yes, sister
He kin come home
As late as can be,
Home without him
Ain t no home to me,
Can t help lovin
Dat man of mine.
