Story Behind the Song
Why did we listen to "I'm a Woman, W-O-M-A-N", all these years and never come up with any rejoinder? At last, here it is.
Lyrics
I must have my computer, electronics soothe my soul
I've got total domination over our TV's remote control
I'm watching every football game till the final gun and then
I've got to watch the highlights on ESPN
Again and again.
CHORUS
'Cause I'm a man
Spelled G-U-Y, yes, I'm a man
Sports Center is what life's about
Those Prime Time soaps I'll do without
That quarterback is rolling out
And I, I am a man.
You like to choose the restaurant, I'd like to park the car
I'll drive us round for half an hour so we don't walk too far
I'll never ask directions 'cause we don't have time to waste
If they can make any slab of steak it's sure to suit my taste.
It's my kind of place.
CHORUS
'Cause I'm a man
Spelled G-U-Y, yes I'm a man
Don't care if rave reviews announce
That eating there shows off who counts
I don't want food I can't pronounce
Cause I, I am a man.
I'd like to raise a family, I'd change some diapers too
And when our kids would drive you nuts, I'd know just what to do
A nice romantic evening, quiet as you please
You and your guy with pizza pie at good ol' Chuck E. Cheese
See, it's a breeze
CHORUS
'Cause I'm a man
Spelled G-U-Y, yes I'm a man
That diaper's fine if it don't leak
It oughtta last at least a week
If not, you'll be the one I seek
'Cause I, I am a man
Don't take me on your shopping sprees, shoppes give me the blues
Don't make me watch you choose your shoes and miss the Nightly News
'Cause hanging 'round at Nordstrom will soon drive me berserk
If you drag me all around the mall, I'd rather go to work.
It's my only quirk.
CHORUS
'Cause I'm a man
Spelled G-U-Y, yes I'm a man
I'll go bring home the bacon
Work when my back is achin'
But more shopping I ain't takin'
'Cause I, I am a man.
When it comes to women, I like the way they dress
And Levis shrunk to fit just right might make my eyes digress
But when it comes to lovin', I'm simple and I'm true
I'm your pet dog, I'll come when called and love no one but you.
And I know what to do.
CHORUS
'Cause I'm a man
Spelled G-U-Y, yes I'm a man
Not one to speak my feelings
I'd rather paint the ceiling
Lovin' you--that's why I'm kneeling
'Cause I, I am a man
Let me tell you again. (Repeat)
