This jazz standard is particularly associated with Billie Holiday, as it was recorded in 1941-the year she married James Monroe, an abusive playboy who was, as TLC would call it, a scrub. Monroe introduced her to opium, which set Holiday on her later path to addiction with heroin (introduced by Joe Guy, another no-good musician she dated). Her 1958 live version is particularly haunting, paralleling her struggles to find a "lover man" who will treat her right.
