A Man Ain't A Man

A man ain't a man 'til a woman calls his name

A man ain't a man 'til he sets a woman's heart aflame

'Til a man makes a woman obey his every rule

He's just a little fish in a great big pool

A man ain't a man 'til a woman calls his name

Yes, a man ain't a man 'til he holds a woman in his arms

A man ain't a man 'til he knows a woman's magic charms

'Til a man kiss a woman and hears her tender sigh

He's just a big fool lettin' life pass by

A man ain't a man 'til he holds a woman in his arms

A man ain't a man 'til he sets a woman's soul on fire

A man ain't a man 'til a woman calls him her desire

'Til a man takes a woman and fills her life with joy

A man ain't nothin' but an overgrown boy

A man ain't a man 'til he sets a woman's soul on fire

Say, woman, come here and call that man's name

Abraham

Now, you know that's not his name

You heard me call the man's name, call the man's name

Nicodemus

Can you imagine that?

You heard me, woman, call the man's name

Elijah

Did you hear that? Elijah

They don't even name him that no more

Now listen, just forget about his name

What does she say to him when he bring home some money?

Oh, "A-dance with me, Louie

A-dance with me, Louie"

A man ain't a man 'til a woman calls his name

Calls his name
