It’s caused me a lot
But there’s one thing that I got
It’s my man

Cold and wet
Tied you bet
All of that I’ll soon forget
With my man

He’s not much for looks
And no hero out of books
But I love him

Two or three girls has he
That he likes as well as me
But I love him

I don’t no why I should
He isn’t true
He beats me to
What can I do?

Oh my man, I love him so
He’ll never know
All my life is just despair
I don’t care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is right, all right

What’s the difference if I say
I’ll go away
When I know
I’ll come back on my knees some day
Whatever my man is
I am his for ever more

What’s the difference if I say
I’ll go away
When I know
I’ll come back on my knees some day
Whatever my man is
I am his for ever more

Elements of the lyrics to My Man are both direct in meaning and also metaphorical with the real meanings of the song only known by Diana Ross and any collaborating writers working on the lyrics for My Man back when it was created.

Some people have an interest in the etymology behind words and phrases. You can take apart the lyrics to My Man by Diana Ross in a number of ways. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to My Man" means the words set to the music of My Man, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Diana Ross. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics.
