What does she say?

Hi.

I was trying to write down the lyrics of that song (the lyrics in the net are not complete), but I experience problems with one of the lines.

The "refrain" in that place goes like this:

I'm just a woman that lost her man
I can't have him, so I do what I can
To get another, another man to love
???, just a thing
He may be a beggar, he might be the king
He might be you, or you, or you
I'll love him

It's around 3:55-6 in that video.

What does she say, in your opinion?
Thank you for your help.

I think she says that it is awesome to see you here again. Happy new year!

The ???? sounds like "nano-see" which is not English.

It might be a rushed mispronounciation of "Then I'll see or "And I'l see".

Thank you both!

Wiki gives other recordings of the same song (sometimes they're just instrumental) You could listen to see if any other singer delivers the line in question more clearly.

1. Welcome back.
2. No idea.
3. If we were playing casino - me, chips, use them or lose them - i'd put them on "He may not be".
I have little trust in my ears. So make of that what you will.

The later recordings appear to replace the relevant lines with instrumental.
I've checked some of them and have no hope that the remainder will be different.
There's also interesting stuff going on with alterations to the remaining text, particularly when male artists sing it.
