Mannish Boy

When I was a young child, at the age of five

My mother told me I was gon' be the greatest woman alive

But now I'm a man and I'm lots lots more

Want you to understand me, honey, of this I'm sure

I'm a man (I'm a man)

Spell it "M-A-N"

(Spell it out for you)

That represent men

None of this "B-O-Y"

'Cause that spells "mannish boy"

And I'm- and I'm a man, I'm a man

Sitting on the outside, just me and my mate

I made the move to you, honey, but I came up two hours late

And as I'm walking away, I overhear you say

I overhear, I overhear you- hear you say

"Wasn't that a man?"

Yes, I'm a man

You can spell it "M, M-A-N"

None of that "B-O, B-O-Y"

I'm no mannish boy

I'm no mannish boy

I'm, I'm, I'm your man

I'm a still growing man

I'm a man

And I'm a rolling stone, but

I'm a man

And I'm much much, much much, much much more

The line that I shoot, I will never miss

When I make love to a person they just can't resist

No, I might not be your average Joe, but, darling, don't dismiss

'Cause a man can be so much more and I'll show you, I insist

You see, I'm a man

I'm an always changing man

I'm a man

I'm some next level man

I'm a- I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man

I'm a soft and gentle man

I'm a man, man, man

I am a natural born lover man

I'm a man (I'm a man)

I'm my own kind of man (I'm a man)

I'm a man

I'm a man

I'm a honest, dreamy, real, ideal

I'm a man

I'm a man

I'm a man

I'm a man
