Lyrics Gimme Back My Man - Betty Wright

Gimme back my man
Gimme back my man
Gimme back my man
Gimme back my man

Take this horse it can't do what my man can do
Now, look it may be but it ain't doing a thang for me
You can have this four-leaf clover
It can't do a good job of holding me
Take all of these lucky charms
I'd rather be in my mans arms

'Cause lucky charms I don't need
They don't do a thang for me
And I know without a doubt it's my mans love
I can't do without, so

Gimme back my man, mmm
Gimme back my man
Gimme back my man
Just gotta have my man

I went to the fortune teller
To have my fortune read
She took my hand in hers
And this is what she said, "give up your man"
As she began to read my palm
You can find yourself a better one if you take these lucky charms

Oh, what a fool I was to give that man away
I hope it's not too late to correct the mistake I made
For as sure as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west
I declare ain't nowhere have I found a better man yet

'Cause lucky charms are a fantasy
Keep me living in a world of make-believe
Get all build for being let down
Waiting for my man to roll around
But life's too short to believe in those things
I'd rather have mine while I'm on the scene, so

Gimme back my man, hey, yeah
Gimme back my man, Listen to 'em
Gimme back my man, yeah
Just gotta have my man

You can have this ole, rabbits foot
I never did like, like the way it looked
And you can even have that penny in the case
For it will never, ever take my mans place

'Cause lucky charms are a fantasy
They don't mean a thang to me
And I know without a doubt it's my mans love
I can't do without, so

Gimme back my man, hey, yeah
Gimme back my man, mmm
Gimme back my man, yeah
Just gotta have my man

Give him back, give him back
Need him back yes, I do
Want him back, hey, yeah
Ooh-ooh, ooh, yeah
Hey, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme back
Hey, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme back
I-I, I need him back, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, yeah
My, my, my but I want him back

I want my, my baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby back
