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