 6    6 6   7      7     6 6   6         
Fish gotta swim, bird's gotta fly;

5  5 5  -6   -6  -6  -4 -4  -4
I gotta love one man til I die.

 6     4    3  4   4    5 -4   4
Can't help loving that man of mine.

Tell me he's lazy, tell me he's slow;
Tell me I'm crazy, maybe I know.
Can't help loving that man of mine.

He can come home as late as can be;
Home without him ain't no place for me.
Can't help loving that man of mine.

refrain:

-4  -4   -4 -4 57    5    5  5  5 6-8
When he goes away, that's a rainy day;

 6   6   6    6   -6    -6  -6  -6  -8
But when he comes back that day is fine,

 7  -7  -6     6
The sun will shine.

Repeat--"He can come home....."
