Lyrics
Lookin' for my man, he can strut his stuff
Lookin' for my man, he can strut his stuff
And when he starts his struttin'
I don't know when I've got enough
Hello Central, gimme long distance phone
Hello Central, gimme long distance phone
I'm lookin' for my man 'cause he's done left me all alone
He's a short black man, listen people, that ain't all
He's a short black man, listen people, that ain't all
He's got what it takes to make these monkey women fall
He's a red hot papa, melts hearts as cold as ice
He's a red hot papa, melts hearts as cold as ice
Girls, if he ever love you once, you bound to love him twice
I'm lookin' for that man, I'm gonna stop singin' these blues
I'm lookin' for that man, I'm gonna stop singin' the blues
I'm gonna walk 'til I find him, if I wear out this last pair of shoes
Writer(s): George Brooks
