[Verse 1] Late September in the city The sky is gray, the air is sticky I keep falling in and out of sleep Lettin' the sun scorch the grass The flies are knockin' on the glass But they're the only other friends I have, you see [Pre-Chorus] I need him so much that it hurts I wish he didn't have to go to work And I just lie and watch the ceiling fan turn [Chorus] He's my man, we're hand in hand To hell and back And I'll love him like nobody else can He's my man, I've been damned No, nobody has to understand Me and my man [Verse 2] I stay home and make his dinner Even though somehow he keeps gettin' thinner I wait, watchin' the washing machine spin ' round and 'round again [Pre-Chorus] I need him so much that it hurts I wish he didn't have to go to work He keeps complainin' that his vision's blurred [Chorus] He's my man, we're hand in hand To hell and back And I'll love him like nobody else can He's my man, I've been damned No, nobody has to understand Me and my man [Bridge] He keeps havin' feverish dreams That he can never, ever leave He wakes, head aches, funny taste to his tea I want him to stay here forever He's happiest with me 'Cause he [Chorus] He's my man And I'll love him like nobody else can He's my man, he's gone quite mad No, nobody has to understand Me and my man
