I 'm a Man - Joe Tex
If I were a guitar
I'd like to be played by BB King
If I were a little dog
Rufus Thomas could walk me
Oh but I'm a man
Who needs to be loved baby
I'm a man honey
Needs to be needed
I can think of nobody that I want to need me
Better than you baby
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
But I'm a man
Needs someone to cook my favourite 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
And if I were a baseball
I'd like to be hit by Willie Mays
If I were a silly grin
I'd wanna to be worn on Roger Miller's face
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
