| If you want a | lover, I'll do anything you | ask me to, |
| Em | D | |
| And if you want an | other kind of love, I'll wear a | mask for you. |
| Bm | |
| If you want a | partner, take my hand, |
| G | A | |
| Or if you want to | strike me down in anger, |
| Bm | |
| Here I stand: I'm your | man! |
| If you want a boxer, I will step into the ring for you, |
| And if you want a doctor, I'll examine every inch of you. |
| If you want a driver, climb inside, |
| Or if you want to take me for a ride, |
| You know you can: I'm your man! |

| Ah, the | moon's too bright, the | chain's too tight, |
| A | D | |
| The | beast won't go to | sleep. |
| F#m | |
| I've been | running through these promises to you |
| Bm | |
| That I | made and I could not keep. |
| F#m | Bm | |
| Ah, but | a man never got a woman back, not by b | egging on his knees; |
| G | A | |
| Or I'd | crawl to you baby, And I'd | fall at your feet, |
| G | A | |
| And I'd | howl at your beauty like a | dog in heat, |
| G | G# | |
| And I'd | claw at your heart, And I'd | tear at your sheet; |
| A | Bm | |
| I'd say | please: (please) I'm your | man! |
| And if you've got to sleep a moment on the road, I will steer for you. |
| And if you want to work the street alone, I'll disappear for you. |
| If you want a father for your child, |
| Or only want to walk with me a while |
| Across the sand: I'm your man! |
| If you want a lover, I'll do anything you ask me to, |
| And if you want another kind of love, I'll wear a mask for you... |
