Now, when I was a young boy at the age of five
My mother said I'll be the greatest man alive
And now I'm a man, I'm over twenty one
You better believe me, baby and I'll say
We can have lots of fun
I'm a man, a man
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
The line I shoot will never miss
And when I make love to thee
You just can't resist
Ooh, ain't that a man
Spelled "M", "A" child "N"
No "B" "O" child, "Y"
That spell mannish boy, man
I'm a man, a man
I'm a man, I'm a man
I sitting on the outside
Just me and my mate
I made the move
Come up two hours late
Ah, ain't that a man
No "B", "O" child, "Y"
That spell mannish boy
I'm a man, I'm a man
I'm a full grown man, baby
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh
All you pretty women
Stand in a line
I make love with you, baby
In an hour's time
I'm a man, I'm a man
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
My mother said I'll be the greatest man alive
And now I'm a man, I'm over twenty one
You better believe me, baby and I'll say
We can have lots of fun
I'm a man, a man
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
The line I shoot will never miss
And when I make love to thee
You just can't resist
Ooh, ain't that a man
Spelled "M", "A" child "N"
No "B" "O" child, "Y"
That spell mannish boy, man
I'm a man, a man
I'm a man, I'm a man
I sitting on the outside
Just me and my mate
I made the move
Come up two hours late
Ah, ain't that a man
No "B", "O" child, "Y"

Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh
All you pretty women
