I'm a Man

I 'm a Man - Joe Tex

If I were a guitar

I'd like to be played by BB King

If I were a little dog

Rufus Thomas could walk me

Oh but I'm a man

Who needs to be loved baby

I'm a man honey

Needs to be needed

I can think of nobody that I want to need me

Better than you baby

If I were a song

I'd like to be sung by the Rolling Stones

If I were a dance floor

James Brown could mash potatoes on me all night long

But I'm a man

Needs someone to cook my favourite dish

I'm a man baby

Who needs to grant someone's every wish

And I can think of nobody's wish I'd like to grant honey

Better than yours baby

And if I were a baseball

I'd like to be hit by Willie Mays

If I were a silly grin

I'd wanna to be worn on Roger Miller's face

But I'm a man

Who needs to be loved

I'm a man baby

Who needs to be wanted

And I can think of nobody that I want to want me

Better than you baby
