I'm A Man

If I were a guitar,

I'd like to be played by BB King

If I were a little dog,

Rufus Thomas could walk me

Oh, but I'm a man,

Who needs to be loved, baby,

I'm a man, honey,

Needs to be needed,

I can think of nobody, that I want to need me

Better than you, baby

If I were a song,

I'd like to be sung by the Rolling Stones

If I were a dance floor,

James Brown could mash potatoes on me all night long

But I'm a man -

Needs someone to cook my favourite dish

I'm a man, honey,

Who needs to grant someone's every wish

And I can think of nobody's wish I'd like to grant, honey,

Better than yours, baby

And if I were a baseball,

I'd like to be hit by Willie Mays

If I were a silly grin,

I'd like to be worn on Roger Miller's face

But I'm a man,

Who needs to be loved,

I'm a man, baby,

Who needs to be wanted,

And I can think of nobody that I want to want me

Better than you, baby
