That's What My Man Is For
by Bessie Griffin
You hold my hand when I've lost my way.
\
Have to bring me back when I've gone astray.
\
Someone to heal me when I'm in lots of pain.
\
That's what my man is for.
\
To help to tell me when I've done wrong,
\
Someone to help me to keep going on;
\
And when I get weak I know he'll make me strong.
\
That's what my man is for.
\
Someone to be my companion,
\
Someone who'll understand me,
\
Someone who'll stand along right here beside me
\
And hold my trembling hand.
\
I know I need someone to bring the lights to me on my darkest day.
\
Someone to lighten and brighten my every way
\
And give me peace, give me peace, and close the door.
\
That's what my man is for.
\
Chorus
Come on and bring the lights to me on my darkest day.
\
I need someone to help me to lighten my every way
\
And give me peace, give me peace, and close the door.
\
That's what my man is for.
\
That's what my man is for.
\
I need someone, I need someone.
\
That's what my man is for.
\
That's what my man is for.
\
That's what my man is for.
\
That's what my man is for.
\
I know that that's what I expect out of him.
\
And I know that's what most men do for their women.
\
That's what my man is for.
\
That's what my man is for.
