Well, my pad is very messy and there′s whiskers on my chin
Never had no problems 'cause I always play to win
I′ve got no time for lovin' 'cause my time is all used up
I stand outside creatin′ all that groovy kind of love

I′m a man, yes, I am, and I can't help but love you so
I′m a man, yes, I am, and I can't help but love you so

Well, if I had my choice of matter I would rather be with cats
All engrossed in mental chatter, showin′ where our minds are at
And relating to each other just how strong our will can be
In resisting all involvements with each groovy chick we see

I'm a man, yes, I am, and I can′t help but love you so
I'm a man, yes, I am, and I can't help but love you so

So, I got to keep my image while suspended on a throne
That looks out upon a kingdom filled with people all unknown
Who imagine I′m not human, and my heart is made of stone
And I′ve never had no problems and my body's made of gold

I′m a man, yes, I am, and I can't help but love you so
I′m a man, yes, I am, and I can't help but love you so

You can see that I′m a man, please, help me if you can
There's a story going on, then I could see and hear the sounds
You, you need me, please, tell me why you moved me
Love me baby 'cause I′m a man

Well, my pad is very messy and there′s whiskers on my chin
Never had no problems 'cause I always play to win
I′ve got no time for lovin' ′cause my time is all used up
I stand outside creatin' all that groovy kind of love

I′m a man, yes, I am, and I can't help but love you so
I'm a man, yes, I am, and I can′t help but love you so

Well, if I had my choice of matter, I would rather be with cats
All engrossed in mental chatter, showin′ where our minds are at
And relating to each other, just how strong our will can be
In resisting all involvements with each groovy chick we see

I'm a man, yes, I am, and I can′t help but love you so
I'm a man, yes, I am, and I can′t help but love you so

So, I got to keep my image while suspended on a throne
That looks out upon a kingdom filled with people all unknown
Who imagine I'm not human, and my heart is made of stone
And I′ve never had no problems and my body's made of gold

I'm a man, yes, I am, and I can′t help but love you so
I′m a man, yes, I am, and I can't help but love you so

You can see that I′m a man, please, help me if you can
There's a story going on, then I could see and hear the sounds
You, you need me, please, tell me why you moved me
Love me baby ′cause I'm a man

I am a man, yes, I am a man
I am a man, yes, I am a man
I am a man, yes, I am a man
I am a man, yes, I am a man
I am a man, yes, I am a man

I am a man, yes, I am a man
I am a man, yes, I am a man
I am a man, yes, I am a man
I am a man, yes, I am a man
I am a man, yes, I am a man

I am a man, yes, I am a man
I am a man, yes, I am a man
I am a man, yes, I am a man
I am a man, yes, I am a man
I am a man, yes, I am a man
I am a man, yes, I am a man

I am a man, yes, I am a man
I am a man, yes, I am a man
I am a man, yes, I am a man
I am a man, yes, I am a man
I am a man, yes, I am a man
I am a man, yes, I am a man
I am a man, yes, I am a man

Well, my pad is very messy and there′s whiskers on my chin

There′s a story going on, then I could see and hear the sounds
You, you need me, please, tell me why you moved me
Love me baby ′cause I'm a man
