Well my daddy sent a message, got these pad is very messy and theres 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,
