But I Ain't Got A Man 1954 Berlin

I got the sun, the moon, the stars,
the sky and things
of a personal nature have I,
but I ain't got a man,
I ain't got a man,
They say I'm blessed
with what it takes
for guys and there be
a definite gleam in my eyes.
What's the good of a gleam
in your eyes
when you ain't got a man?
Love, I'm a sitting duck,
a wounded quail or grouse,
but what's the good of love
without a man
around the house?
I got the ground,
the dough to build a hut,
I've talked to the architect
who'll do the job,
but what's the good of a house
that is built
on a blue print or plan,
when you ain't got a man
when you ain't got a man?
