lyrics

I’m a Man

If I was the ocean, and you were a boat
I’d stay calm so you could stay afloat
If I was the howling wind
And you, you were the trees.
I’d rock you up gently, girl.
Now dance on my breeze
But I’m not the ocean I’m a man
I’ll have to do what I can

Shout your name in the street
Come on look at me
Come on turn your head
I know you wanna see me.

If I was the fire and were the machine
I’d heat up your boiler, give you a head of steam
You were my locomotive,
Rollin’ on down my track
I’d only sell up one way tickets
Cos now there be no turning back.
But I’m not fire I’m a man
I’ll have to do what I can

Shout your name in the street
Come on look at me, girl!
I can see you pretending to look in to a shop
But there’s nothing you want more than me.

If I was an elevator and you were the top floor
I’d go right up to the top
And never ever shut my door
If I was an elevator and you were my top floor
I’d go right up to the top
And never ever shut my door
But I’m not elevator I’m a man
I’ll have to do what I can
