Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Rely on me to supply your needs from now on
Shelter you and be a pillar to lean on
For in your eyes I see what I was born to be
[Chorus]
And now, now my life can begin
For I am your man
Oh yes, I am, yes I am
I'm your man
Listen darling
[Verse 2]
There's no sacrifice great or small I wouldn't do
My ambition is, is bringin' happiness to you
And if trouble comes our way
I won't run, I want us to stay
[Chorus]
Right by your side, see that's where I'm gonna stay
For I am your man (I am your man)
Oh, yes, I am, little darling, little darling
I'm your man, oh, oh-oh
[Verse 3]
My childish days are through
Wanna be someone you can look up to
Someone who can protect
Oh, someone who you can respect
Oh, I just wanna make myself worth it
Of the precious, precious love I know you be givin' me
I want nothin' more for myself
Your love is my greatest wealth
[Chorus]
And when you take my hand
And when you take my hand
You will proudly say, "Oh, this is my man" (I am your man)
Oh, yes, I am, little darling, little darling
I'm your man
Oh, ooh, ooh, baby, baby, yeah, yeah, hoo, ooh, ooh (I am your man)
I'm your man, woah-ooh, woah-ooh, woah
Woah-ooh, woah-ooh, woah (I am your man)
Woah-ooh, woah-ooh, woah
Ooh, baby, baby
