  • Well, my pad is very messy
    And there's whiskers on my chin
    And I'm all hung up on music
    And I always play to win

    I ain't got no time for lovin'
    'Cause my time is all used up
    Just to sit around creatin'
    All that groovy kind of stuff

    But I'm a man, yes I am
    And I can't help
    But love you so

    But I'm a man, yes I am
    And I can't help
    But love you so

    I got to keep my image
    While suspended from a throne
    That looks out upon a kingdom
    Full of people all unknown

    Who imagine I'm not human
    And my heart is made of stone
    I never had no problems
    And my toilet's trimmed with chrome

    Well, I'm a man, yes I am
    And I can't help
    But love you so

    But I'm a man, yes I am
    And I can't help
    But love you so

    I got to keep my image
    While suspended from a throne
    That looks out upon a kingdom
    Full of people all unknown

    Who imagine I'm not human
    And my heart is made of stone
    I never had no problems
    And my toilet's trimmed with chrome

    I'm a man, yes I am
    And I can't help
    But love you so, no no

    I'm a man, yes I am
    And I can't help
    But love you so

    Yes I'm movin
    Yes I'm movin
    Don't you know that I'm movin
    Yes I'm movin
    Don't you know that I'm a man
    Yes I'm movin
    (Don't you know that I'm a man) Writer/s: Jimmy Miller, Steve Winwood
