One-Man Guy

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

People will know

When they see this show

The kind of a guy i am

They'll understand what i stand for

And what i just can't stand

They'll perceive what i believe in

What i know is true

And they'll recognize i'm a one-man guy

Always was through and through

I'm a one-man guy in the morning

I'm the same in the afternoon

One man guy when the sun goes down

I whistle me a one-man tune

I'm a one-man guy a one-man guy

Only kind of guy to be

I'm a one-man guy

I'm a one-man guy

I'm a one-man guy is me

I'm a one-man kind of a guy

People meditate

Hey that's just great

Trying to find the inner you

People depend on family and friends

And other folks to pull them through

I don't know why i'm a one-man guy

Or why this is a one-man show

But these three cubic feet of bone and blood and meat are what i love and know

I'm a one-man guy in the morning

I'm the same in the afternoon

One man guy when the sun goes down

I whistle me a one-man tune

I'm a one-man guy a one-man guy

Only kind of guy to be

I'm a one-man guy

I'm a one-man guy

I'm a one-man guy is me

I'm a one-man kind of a guy

I'm gonna bathe and shave

And dress myself and eat solo every night

Unplug the phone, sleep alone

Stay way out of sight

Sure it's kind of lonely

Yeah it's sort of sick

Being your own one and only

Is a selfish dirty trick

I'm a one-man guy in the morning

I'm the same in the afternoon

One man guy when the sun goes down

I whistle me a one-man tune

One man guy a one-man guy

Only kind of guy to be

I'm a one-man guy

I'm a one-man guy

I'm a one-man guy is me

I'm a one-man guy
