Lyrics

I'm not a house made of wood
With no life, or breath, or flesh and blood
I'm not a bridge made out of steel
That you can cross over, back and forth just as you feel
So woman, lend an ear to what I am
I'm a real live living hurting man
Oh, yes I am
I'm a man, I'm a man
I'm a real live living hurting man, yes I am
And don't you know I'm alive
Let me tell you something else
And I need
Oh, woman when I get cut, oh how I bleed, yeah, yeah, yeah
I get lonesome when I'm alone, yeah
And I hurt, and I hurt, oh when I get stepped on, yeah, yes
I'm a real live living hurtin' man
Woman, not a piece of a stone
Oh, no, no
Yes, I've got a heart
And you make it ache, oh, how it aches
Girl, you've got to change your way for mercy sake
Oh, oh, I'm a man
Keep on tellin' you baby, I'm a man
Woah, I'm a real live living hurting man, yeah
Let me tell you a few things baby
I'm alive, oh baby, don't you know that I need
Let me tell you right now girl
Oh, woman, when I get cut, oh how I bleed
Oh, baby, baby, baby
Woah, baby
