    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)
