Oh, listen, sister
I love my mister man
And I can´t tell you why
There is no reason why I should love that man
It mus´ be somethin´ that de angels have planned

Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly
I gotta love one man till I die
Can´t help lovin´ 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 lovin´ that man of mine
When he goes away, that´s a rainy day
And when he comes back that day is fine
The sun will shine!
He can come home as late as can be
Home without him ain´t no home to me
Can´t help lovin´ that man of mine

I, I first heard that song when Ava Gardner sang it in the movie, because I had no idea that it came from a Broadway show, ´cause I went to the movies long before I ever went to the theater. Who knew from the theater? I´d go to the Loewe´s kings in Flatbush, every Saturday to escape into a world of fantasy and also because they had the greatest mellowrolls. a mellowroll was this little ice-cream log, a lot of you must know that, wrapped in paper that sat on a cone. Anyway, I´ll never forget, uh, when I was thirteen... some things improve with age... this friend of my named Barbara Sankell, who knew that I wanted to be an actress, told me about this actor named Marlon Brando, who was in a movie called Guys and Dolls, which I also didn´t know was from a Broadway play. And so I went to see it, and it was truly a life altering experience, seeing Marlon Brando for the first time. It was the only movie that I ever sat through twice just to get to see him again and to have another mellowroll. Anyway, I´ll never forget this song...
