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.
