[Verse 1]
Am C Am C
Well, my pad is very messy and there's whiskers on my chin,
Am C Am C
and never had no problems 'cause I always pay the rent.
Am C Am C
I ain't got no time for lovin', cause my time is all used up,
Am C Am C
I stand outside creatin' all that groovy kind of love.
[Chorus]
C B A# Am C Am C
I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so.
C B A# Am C Am C
I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so.
[Verse 2]
Am C Am C
Well, if I had my choice of matter I would rather be with cats,
Am C Am C
all engrossed in mental chatter showing where our minds are at.
Am C Am C
And relating to each other just how strong the will can be,
Am C Am C
In resisting all involvement with each groovy chick we see.
[Chorus]
C B A# Am C Am C
I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so.
C B A# Am C Am C
I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so.
[Verse 3]
Am C Am C
So I got to keep my image while suspended on a throne,
Am C Am C
that looks out upon a kingdom full of people all unknown,
Am C Am C
who imagine I'm not human and my heart is made of stone,
Am C Am C
and I never had no problems and my body's made of stone.
[Chorus]
C B A# Am C Am C
I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so.
C B A# Am C Am C
I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so.
C B A# Am C Am C
I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so.
