	Bm	Em	Bm
	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!

	D	G
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...
