I'M A MAN
(Winwood / Miller)
Chicago
The Spencer Davis Group - 1967
Well, my path 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 loving 'cause my time is all used up
Just sitting 'round creating all that groovy kind of stuff
Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so (2x)
Well, if I had my choice of matter I would rather be with cats
All engrossed in mental chatter showing where our minds are at,
And relating to each other just how strong our will can be
In resisting all involvement with each groovy chick we see
Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so (2x)
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 toilet's trimmed with gold
Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so (2x)
