    Well my pad is very messy
    And there's whiskers on my chin
    And I'm all hung up on music
    And I always play to win
    I ain't got no time for lovin'
    Cause my time is all used up
    Just to sit around creatin'
    All that groovy kind of stuff

    I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so
    I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so

    Well if I had my choice of matter
    I would rather be with cats
    All engrossed in mental chatter
    Moving where our minds are at
    And relating to each other
    Just how strong our wills can be
    I'm resisting all involvement
    With each groovy chick we see

    I got to keep my image
    While suspended from a throne
    That looks out upon a kingdom
    Full of people all unknown
    Who imagine I'm not human
    And my heart is made of stone
    I never had no problems
    And my toilet's trimmed with chrome

    This was played by Spencer Davis with the Dead on 10 December 1989. It is not to be confused with Muddy Waters' song Mannish Boy or Bo Diddley's song I'm A Man.
