1 Play I’m A Man (S. Winwood, J. Miller)

Well, my pad is very messy and there's whiskers on my chin And I'm all hung up on music, and I always play to win I ain't got no time for lovin' 'cause my time is all used up Just sittin' 'round creatin' all that groovy kind of stuff Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so Well, 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 involvments with each groovy chick we see Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so I've 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 toliet's trimmed with gold Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so ------------------------------------------------------------------------ FS Music Ltd.
