I would appreciate any help finding a song and the artist’s name. It’s a blues song that was supposedly performed by an African American woman (noticeable accent).
The song reached me in Moscow (Russia) in about 1979-80 (which places its release roughly before that time).
It was brought to our University’s campus by one of our foreign
students from Europe.

The singer mumbles a bit, so that I could not get all the lyrics, though still managed to get most of them.
Here is what I got below (it starts from a refrain):


Refrain: I wanna lose my man
I wanna lose my man
Yeah-yeah-yeah
(2 times)

I never realized this guy was not for me
And every single night he wants to watch TV.
About where he gets his gifts I don't know
He doesn't smoke, he doesn't drink, it does not go.

(Refrain)

……………………………………………………..
……………………………………………………..
He's never smoked pot he's never sniffed cocain
His old and (…) routine's just driving me insane.


I remember
He was so tender
And I could die now
And I cry
and I cry
and I cry...

I still love him
And I'll be trying
But it's not worth it
If I try
if I try
if I try...

(Refrain)

While all my friends are just a bunch of crazy guys
A guy who ………. was very special to my eyes
It must have been the difference (that) attracted me
I could only imagine how boring it could be

It' not for me!
It' not for me!
It' not for me!

(Refrain)


Really hope someone out there can find this treasure from the 70s. Thanks!
