Tammy Wynette - My Man (Understands) Lyrics

(Billy Sherrill - Norro Wilson - Carmol Taylor)

My man understands,
He holds me in the palm of his hand
And I like it, I like it.
He's a dream, the real thing
He always makes me feel like a queen
And I love it, I love it.

His arms are warm
They keep me away from harm
And I'm proud of it, so proud of it.
He's mine, he's fine
He makes a funny feeling go up my spine
And I wanna keep it like this all the time.

He's got what I want when I want it
He's got what I need when I need it
I'd fight a million just to keep it
Just to keep on holding to the precious love he gives me.

How I hate to sit and wait
When I know he's got to work late
I can't stand it, can't stand it.
But when he walks in
And I'm in his lovin' arms again
I forget it, I forget it.

His touch is too much
He knows how to love me just enough
And I love him, I love him.
My man understands
He holds me in the palm of his hand
And I wanna keep it like this, all the time.

He's got what I want when I want it
He's got what I need when I need it
I'd fight a million just to keep it
Just to keep on holding to the precious love he gives me.

My man understands
He holds me in the palm of his hand
And I wanna keep it like this, all the time.

Yeah, I wanna keep it like this, all the time...
