Edwin Starr
I Am Your Man
[Verse 1]
Rely on me to supply your needs from now on
Shelter you and be a pillow to lean on
For in your eyes I see what I was born to be

[Chorus]
And now, now my life, my life can begin
For I, I am your man (I am your man)
I'm your man, I'm your man
I'm your man

[Verse 2]
Listen darlin', there's no sacrifice great or small I wouldn't do
My ambition is, girl, girl, bringin' happiness to you (You don't need to worry)
And if trouble comes our way
I won't run, I promise to stay

[Chorus]
Right by your side, 'cause that's where I'm gonna stay
Oh, I, I am your man (I am your man)
Yes, I am, little darling
I'm your man

[Bridge]
My childish days are through
I wanna be someone you can look up to
Someone who can protect
Oh, someone who you can respect
[Verse 3]
I'm just trying to make myself (Just trying to make myself) worthy (Worthy)
Of the precious, precious love (Your precious love) I know you've been givin' me
I want nothin' more for myself
For your love is my greatest wealth

[Chorus]
And when you take my hand
You, you can proudly say, "Look-a here", that "this is my man" (I am your man)
Yes, I am, baby
I'm your man

Ooh (I am your man)
From this day on, baby
