"My Man" is a song by Billie Holiday that tells the story of a woman who is deeply in love with her man, despite all his flaws. The woman admits that her man isn't perfect - he's not good-looking, he's unfaithful and he even beats her. But despite all of this, she still loves him and can't imagine life without him. She knows he's not loyal and that he is involved with other women, but she doesn't care. When he's with her, she feels complete, and all of her problems disappear. The woman is fully aware that her man is not a hero from a book, but she loves him regardless. She recognizes that her love may cost her a lot and even lead to despair, but she is still willing to stay with him forevermore, on her knees if necessary. The song speaks to the complicated nature of love, highlighting the pain and the joy that can come from it.
