The man in me will do nearly any task,

And as for compensation, there's little he would ask.

To get through to the man in me.

Storm clouds are raging all around my door,

Take a woman like your kind
Am G
To find the man in me.

Just to know that you are near,

Sets my a heart a-reeling
Am D
From my toes up to my ears.

The man in me will hide sometimes to keep from bein' seen,
