Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Everything, everything, everything gon' be alright this morning
Oh, yeah, woo
[Verse 2]
Now, when I was a young boy
At the age of 5
My mother said I was gon' be
The greatest man alive
But now, I'm a man
Way past 21
I want you to believe me, baby
I have lots of fun
I'm a man
[Verse 3]
I spell M, A, child, N
That represent 'Man'
No B, O, child Y
That mean 'Mannish boy'
[Verse 4]
I'm a man
I'm a full-grown man
I'm a man
I'm a natural born lover's man
I'm a man
I'm a rollin' stone
I'm a man
I'm a hoochie-coochie man
[Verse 5]
Sittin' on the outside
Just me and my mate
Ya know I made the moon, honey
Come up two hours late
[Verse 6]
Wasn't that a man?
I spell M, A, child, N
That represent 'Man'
No B, O, child, Y
That mean 'Mannish boy'
[Verse 7]
Man!
I'm a full-grown man
Man!
I'm a natural born lover's man
Man!
I'm a rollin' stone
Man, child!
I'm a hoochie-coochie man
[Verse 8]
The line I shoot
And will never miss
When I make love to a woman
She can't resist
I think I'll go down
To old Kansas, too
I'm gon' bring back my second cousin
That's little Johnny Cocheroo
All you little girls
Sittin' out at that line
I can make love to you, woman
In five minutes time
[Verse 9]
Ain't that a man?
I spell M, A, child, N
That represents I'm grown
No B, O, child, Y
That means 'Mannish boy'
[Verse 10]
Man!
I'm a full-grown man
Man!
I'm a natural born lover's man
Man!
I'm a rollin' stone
I'm a man, child!
I'm a hoochie-coochie man
Well, well, well, well
[Verse 11]
Hurry
Hurry!
Hurry!
Hurry!
Don't hurt me, don't hurt me, child
Don't hurt me, don't hurt me, don't hurt me, child
Well, well, well, well
[Verse 12]
Yeah
