Lyrics

People will know when they see this show
The kind of a guy I am
They'll recognize just what I stand for
And what I just can't stand
They'll perceive what I believe in
And what I know is true
They'll recognize I'm a one-man guy
Always was through and through
People meditate, hey, that's just great
Trying to find the inner you
People depend on family and friends
And other folks to pull them through
I don't know why I'm a one-man guy
Or why I'm a one-man show?
But these three cubic feet of bone, and blood, and meat
Are all I love and know
'Cause I'm a one-man guy in the morning
Same in the afternoon
One man guy when the sun goes down
I whistle me a one-man tune
One man guy, one man guy
Only kinda guy to be
I'm a one-man guy, I'm a one-man guy
I'm a one-man guy is me
I'm gonna bathe, and shave, and dress myself
And eat solo every night
Unplug the phone, sleep alone
Stay way out of sight
Sure, it's kinda lonely
Yeah, it's sort of sick
Being your own one and only
Is a dirty selfish trick
'Cause I'm a one-man guy in the morning
Same in the afternoon
One man guy when the sun goes down
I whistle me a one-man tune
One man guy, one man guy
Only kinda guy to be
I'm a one-man guy, I'm a one-man guy
I'm a one-man guy is me
