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
