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
