I’m a Man

[Verse 1]
If I were a guitar
I'd like to be played by B.B. King
If I were a little dog
Rufus Thomas could walk me

[Chorus]
Oh, but I'm a man
Who needs to be loved, baby
I'm a man, honey
Need to be needed
And I can think of nobody that I want to need me
Better than you, baby

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
But I'm a man
Need someone to cook my favorite dish
I'm a man, baby
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

[Verse 3]
And if I were a baseball
I'd like to be hit by Willie Mays
If I were a silly grin
I wanna be worn on Roger Miller's face

[Chorus]
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
