Hey, lady Let me tell you why I cant live my life without you, oh, baby Every time I see you walking by, I get a thrill You don't notice me, but, in time you will I must make you understand
Chorus: I want to be your man (I want to be your man) I want to be your man (yes, I do, yeah, yeah) I want to be your man (I want to be your man) I want to be your man (I want to be your man)
Better not pass me by 'Cause, if you do, you'll lose a good thing, oh, baby 'Cause, what I got to say is sealed with a kiss And a wedding ring (wedding ring) My mind is blind at times I can't see anyone but you Those other girls don't matter No, they can't spoil my view I must make you understand
Chorus
Words can never say what I feel (it's too intense) Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried to tell you how I feel But, I get mixed up (so mixed up) My mind is blind at times I can't see anyone but you Those other girls don't matter No, they can't spoil my view I must make you understand
Chorus
I want to be your man (I want to be your man) I want to be your man (yes, I do) I want to be your man I want to be your man I want to be your man (I want to be your man)
