Lyrics I'm a Man - Joe Tex

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
