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