Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man
Unveiling Love's Mystery: Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man by Ava Gardner
Lyrics
Oh, listen sister
Expressing a conversational tone, addressing someone as "sister."
I love my mister man
Professing love for a significant other referred to as "mister man."
And I can't tell you why
Acknowledging the inability to explain the reason for the deep love.
There ain't no reason
Stating that there's no logical justification for loving the mentioned man.
For me to love that man
Suggesting that the love might be ordained by angels or a higher power.
It must be something that the angel's done plan
Highlighting a mysterious or divine aspect in the origin of love.
Fish got to swim, birds got to fly
Stating the inevitability of certain actions in nature, drawing a parallel to love.
I got to love one man 'til I die
Expressing a commitment to love one man until death.
Can't help lovin' dat man of mine
Reiterating the uncontrollable love for the mentioned man.
Tell me he's lazy, tell me he's slow
Addressing potential criticisms of the man's qualities, like laziness or slowness.
Tell me I'm crazy (maybe I know)
Suggesting self-awareness about potential craziness or irrationality in love.
Can't help lovin' dat man of mine
Reaffirming the inability to control the love for the mentioned man.
When he goes away
Describing a sense of sadness or longing when the man is away.
That's a rainy day
Associating the man's absence with a metaphorical "rainy day."
But when he comes back dat day is fine
Contrasting the joyous feeling when the man returns, symbolized by a fine day.
The sun will shine
Emphasizing the positive impact of the man's return with the imagery of sunshine.
He can come home as late as can be
Indicating a willingness to accept the man regardless of his arrival time.
Home without him ain't no home to me
Stating that a home is incomplete without the presence of the man.
Can't help lovin' dat man of mine
Reiterating the overpowering love for the mentioned man.
