Lyrics for I'm Your Man

If you want a lover I'll do anything that you ask me to 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 If you want a boxer I will step into the ring for you And if you want a doctor I'll examine every inch of you If you want a driver, climb inside Or if you want to take me for a ride You know you can I'm your man But 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 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 (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 work the street alone I'll disappear for you If you want a father for your child Or only want to walk with me another mile across the sand I'm your man If you want a lover I'll do anything that you ask me to And if you want another kind of love
