I'm A Man

Well my daddy sent a message, got these whiskers on my chin
I never had no problems, and I always play to win
I ain't got no time for lovin', my time is all used up
I just sit around creatin', for that groovy kind of love
I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so, oh no
I'm a man, right as I am, I just can't help but love you so, oh
no
Well if I had my choice of druthers, I'd rather be content
Bein' closer to the devil, from where my mind is at
While related to each other, how good it all could be
Assistin' in their problems, with each groovy chick we see
I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so, oh no
I'm a man, right as I am, I just can't help but love you so, oh
no
Well, I gotta keep my image, while standin' on the floor
If I got down on my knees, with these people I don't know
You think that I'm not human, and my heart is made of stone
But I never had no problems, cause I made it on my own
Well if I had my choice of druthers, I'd rather be content
Bein' closer to the devil, from where my mind is at
While related to each other, how good it all will be
Assistin' in their problems, with each groovy chick we see
I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so, oh no
I'm a man, right as I am, I just can't help but love you so
Love you so, love you so, love you so
My daddy sent a message, got these whiskers on my chin
And I never had no problems, and I always play to win
I ain't got no time for lovin', cause my time is all used up
I just sit around creatin', for that groovy kind of love
Well I got to keep my image, while standin' on the floor
I won't sacrifice my needs, with people I don't know
Who think that I'm not human, and my heart is made of stone
But I never had no problems, cause I made it on my own
I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so, oh no
I'm a man, right as I am, I just can't help but love you so, oh
no
I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so, oh no
I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so
Love you so, love you so, love you so
