I'm a man
So I'm an elegant man
I'm a man
Satin bows and open toes
Are what I am (Are what I am, mm)

I'm a man
Yeah, I'm a fragile man
Light of step and soft of touch
A gentle man (A gentle man)

You know I could love, love you
But if I should love, love you
Then if I would love you
The way a man loves a woman
Live my life like I feel like livin' in
My body claims my mind and soul, so let me be
What I am, oh

Yes, I'm a man
So I'm an graceful man, man
Piano and spacious clothes
Are what I am (Are what I am)

You know I could love, love you
But if I should love, love you
Then if I would love you
The way a man loves a woman
Live my life like I feel like livin' in
My body claims my mind and soul, so let me be, yeah

What I am (What I am)
Let me be what I am, yeah, am
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, hey, hey, yeah, yeah
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, hey, hey, yeah, yeah

Ooh
