A hit song of Lee's. Apparently her man ain't much, but she wants him regardless:) He has "two or three girls" on the side, but she's willing to overlook his wandering eyes (and hands and lips and private parts;). Typical of the songs of this era. It was a time when women believed they needed to be taken care of (financially) and in some ways they did as the laws and opportunities were often not on their side. Therefore, they tolerated more than what they might have had they had the education; social standing; and financial freedom it often takes to stand on ones own.
