Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Everything, everything, everything
Everything gon' be alright this morning
Oh, yeah
Ooh, yes
[Verse 2]
Now, when I was a young boy
At the age of five
My mother said I was gon' be
The greatest man alive
But now I'm a man
Way past twenty-one
You gotta believe me, honey
I'm havin' lots of fun
I'm a man
I spell M-A, child, N
That represents man
No B-O, child, Y
That mean mannish boy
[Verse 3]
Man
I'm a natural born lover, that's right
Man
I'm a rollin' stone
Man
I'm a hoochie-coochie man
Hey, hey (Well, well)
Hey, hey (Well, well, well)
[Verse 4]
The line I shoot
Will never miss (That's right)
The way I make love to a woman
You just can't resist (I hear you)
Man
I'm a full grown man (I hear you, I hear you, son)
I'm a man
I'm a natural born lover man (I can dig that)
Don't hurt me, don't, d-don't hurt me, child (Yeah)
Don't hurt me, don't hurt me, child (Right on)
Don't hurt me, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't hurt me child (Yeah)
(Sing, son)
How you all doin'?
Hey, hey
Hey, hey (Well)
[Verse 5]
The lyin' eye, sugar
Ah, well, l never miss
When I make love to a woman
She can't resist
I think I go down
To old Chauncey Stew
I'ma bring back the second cousin
And lil' John the Conqueror
But are you lookin'?
Settin' up and lying
I can make love to you, baby
In five minutes time
Ain't that a man? (That's a man)
[Verse 6]
I'll spell M-A, child, N (Yeah)
That rather big man
No B-O, child, Y (No B-O, child, Y)
That mean mannish boy
Man
A natural born lover's man
Man
A rollin' stone
Hey
Hey
Hey, hey (Hey)
Hey, hey (Hey, hey)
[Verse 7]
I was sittin' on the outside (Yes, son)
With just me and my mate (Right on)
And we made the moon
Come up two hours late
(Buddy Guy) And ain't that a man?
Yeah, ain't that a man? (Buddy Guy)
Ain't that a man?
No, hey, hey
Hey (Sing, son)
No B (No B)
O, child
Y, Y, Y, Y
Hey, what that spell? Mannish boy (Buddy Guy)
[Verse 8]
Buddy Guy
Well, well, well, well, well
Hey, hey

Oh, yeah (Yeah, babe, that's alright)
Hey, hey
Yeah, yeah
Everything gonna be alright (Alright this morning, alright)

[Verse 10]
Sittin' on the outside
Just me and my mate
We made the moon, honey, goddamnit
Come up two hours late
Ain't that a man?
My main, main, man
Oh, listen
Can I, can I do one, can I do one more? Listen
[Verse 11]
Sittin' on the outside
Just me and my mate
We made the moon, honey
Come up two hours late
Ain't that a man, no?
You want something?
[Verse 12]
Hey, hey
Wear it down, who's the old?
Behind the sun
I had to stay down
Till my work was done
Ain't that a man?
Oh, ain't that a man?
Ain't that a man?
[Verse 13]
We gotta move it
Thank you very much for that song, a very good song
Thank you
Thank you very much
What you wanna talk 'bout now?
Thank you, goddamn
[Verse 14]
Natural man
Man
A full grown man
[Verse 15]
Thank you, thank you
Somebody hand me my guitar over there
When you have those numbers, you gotta know one thing
It's because he did it, and I liked it
