“Where Is My Man” is a 1983 song by the American singer and actress Eartha Kitt. It appeared on her 1984 album I Love Men. Comedy writer Bruce Vilanch and musicians and producers Fred Zarr and Jacques Morali co-wrote the song.
The song was first released in France as a single and was wildly successful. It features Kitt singing in a low, seductive-sounding voice. The song includes some sounds that have come to be associated with Kitt, including a purring sound similar to one she made while portraying Catwoman on the 1960s TV series Batman. The lyrics detail specific things the singer expects to receive from her future lover, such as a trip to Saint-Tropez and shopping at Tiffany & Co.
Streetwise Records released the title in late 1983 in the United States to the dance and club markets. It was Kitt’s first recording released in the United States after she was ostracized and fled into self-imposed exile in Paris following her outspoken objection to the Vietnam War at a White House function in 1968. The song became her biggest-selling single in 30 years.
In the United Kingdom, “Where Is My Man” reached the top 40 on the UK Singles Chart and peaked at number 36, giving Kitt her first UK hit since “Under the Bridges of Paris” in 1955.
The single was also a hit worldwide, peaking at number one in Greece, number five in Sweden, number six in Belgium, and number 12 in the Netherlands.
In the United States, the song reached the top 10 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart, peaking at number seven and remaining on the survey for 14 weeks.

? SONG LYRICS: “WHERE IS MY MAN?” ? (as originally performed by EARTHA KITT)
I don’t wanna be alone, where is my baby?
I don’t wanna be alone, where is my man?
I spend hours by the phone, where is my baby?
I chew my fingers to the bone, where is my man?
My list of needs is really quite brief
I need a man who can bring my beliefs
From all the stress and strains of the day
With just a kind stroke to Cartier
I need a man who can take me then taunt me and make me
Buy the things that I so richly desire
A man who knows what I require
The things that I desire
Is there anyone out there who has the nerve?
I don’t wanna be alone, where is my baby?
I don’t wanna be alone, where is my man?
I spend hours by the phone – where is my baby?
I chew my fingers to the bone, where is my man
Where is my baby? He can’t be far.
Look for an Ascot, a big cigar
Tell him to find me
Send his car to this address I have to stress I need him now.
I don’t wanna be alone, where is my baby?
I don’t wanna be alone, where is my man?
I spend hours by the phone, where is my baby?
I chew my fingers to the bone, where is my man?
The kind of man that I adore’s the kind of man that gives me more
Of all the better things in life that aren’t free.
Such things as summer by the sea
The Hamptons, Malibu, Capri.
The kind of man who comes alive
When he comes near Rodeo Drive
Is the kind of man who wins my heart with style and class.
You know I’ve tried some other men
The kind with zeros less than ten
But every time I grab the ring it’s always brass.
I don’t wanna be alone, where is my baby?
I don’t wanna be alone, where is my man?
I spend hours by the phone, where is my baby?
I chew my fingers to the bone, where is my man?
I don’t wanna be alone, where is my baby?
I don’t wanna be alone, where is my man?
I spend hours by the phone, where is my baby?
I chew my fingers to the bone, where is my man?
I don’t wanna be alone, where is my baby?
I don’t wanna be alone, where is my man?
