met a man,
I wanted to marry
Across the threshold me, he would carry
I told him I wanted him,
my husband to be
But he said no baby, I wanna be free
He was the man, the man that said no
He was the man that I loved so
And he said, you find another man
to be part of your nightmare
You find another fool
to give you love and care
Cause I can do bad by myself
Not gonna take care of
you or anybody else
He was the man, the man that said no
He was the man that I loved so
And he said,
I ain't going for all that talk about love
I'm free to say something
about heaven above
I want to live alone in this world
An d what I really don't need
is one of those glamour girls
He was the man, the man that said no
He was the man,
oh how I loved you so
He was the man, the man that said no
He was the man, oh how I loved him so
He was the man that wanted no wife
He's gonna be lonesome
the rest of his life
He was the man, the man that said no
He was the man, that I loved him so
He was the man that wanted no wife
He's gonna be lonesome
the rest of his life
