If you want a lover - I'll do anything you ask me to, And if you want another kind of love - I'll wear a mask for you. If you want a partner - Take my hand, Or if you want to strike me down in anger - Here I stand! I'm your man...
Ah, the moon's too bright, The chain's too tight, The beast won't go to sleep; I've been running through these promises to you, That I made and I could not keep... Ah, but a man never got a woman back, Not by begging on his knees... Or I'd crawl to you baby And I'd fall at your feet And I'd howl at your beauty, Like a dog in heat, And I'd claw at your heart, And I'd tear at your sheet, I'd say please, I'm your man...
And if you've got to sleep A moment on the road, I will steer for you, And if you want to walk the street alone - I'll disappear for you; If you want a father for your child Or only want to walk with me a while Across the sand - I'm your man...
I can wash out 44 pairs of socks and have 'em hangin out on the line I can starch & iron 2 dozens shirts 'fore you can count from 1 to 9 I can scoop up a great big dipper full of lard from the drippins can Throw it in the skillet, go out & do my shopping, be back before it melts in the pan 'Cause I'm a woman!

I can rub & scrub this old house til it's shinin like a dime - Feed the baby, grease the car, & powder my face at the same time
Get all dressed up, go out and swing til 4 a.m. and then - Lay down at 5, jump up at 6, and start all over again
'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again
I can stretch! a green black dollar bill from here to kindom come! - I can play the numbers pay the bills and still end up with some!

'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again 'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, and that's all.
