I'm a Man (Radio Session, 1967) - Spencer Davis Group

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 loving

'Cause my time is all used up

Just sittin' around creating

All that groovy kind of stuff

'Cause I’m a man

Yes, I am

And I can’t help but love you so

Well, I’m a man

Yes, I am

And I can’t help but love you so

Well, if I had my choice of matter

I would rather be with cats

All engrossed in mental chatter

Showing where our minds are at

And relating to each other

Just how strong our will can be

In resisting all involvements

With each groovy chick we see

Well, I’m a man

Yes, I am

And I can’t help but love you so

Well, I’m a man

Yes, I am

And I can’t help but love you so

Said I got to keep my image

While suspended on a throne

That looks out upon a kingdom

Filled with people all unknown

Who imagine I’m not human

And my heart is made of stone

And I never had no problems

And my toilet’s trimmed with gold

Well, I’m a man

Yes, I am

And I can’t help but love you so

Well, I’m a man

Yes, I am

And I can’t help but love you so
