"You're My Man" is a song written by Glenn Sutton. The song was a popular No. 1 country hit by country artist Lynn Anderson from 1971.
Background
"You're My Man" is mainly about the narrator describing her affection for her lover, saying there is no one else in the world for her, and she wants "the whole world to know". The song's orchestral arrangements and pop-influenced sound made it a Countrypolitan recording.
Chart performance
