[Intro]
Woah yeah, oh yeah
Everythin', everythin', everythin'
Everythin' gonna be alright this mornin'
Oh yeah
Whoo!
[Verse 1]
Now when I was a young boy, at the age of 5
My mother said I was gonna be the greatest man alive
But now I'm a man wat passed 21
You gotta believe me honey I had lots of fun
[Chorus]
I'm a man
Spell M-A child -N
That represents man
No B-O child -Y
That mean mannish boy
I'm a natural born lovers man
Man!
I'm a rollin' stone
Man!
I'm a hoochie coochie man
Hey, hey
[Verse 2]
The line I shoot
Won't ever miss
The way I make love to a woman
They just can't resist
I'm a man
I'm a full grown
I'm a man
I'm a natural born lover man
Don't hurt me, don't hurt me child
Don't hurt me, don't hurt me child
Don't hurt me, don't, don't, don't hurt me child
[Verse 3]
The line I shoot
I'll never miss
When I make love to a woman
She can't resist
I think I go down to ol' [?]
I'ma bring back the second cousin
And little Johnny Cockeroo
Oh you little girl
Settin' up that line
I'm gonna make love to ya baby
In 5 minutes time
Ain't that a man
