You're The Man
You say you're the man
But who are you supposed to be?
A clown, nurse, or even an attorney
Dressed to kill
Always looking for a good thrill
Traveling from here & there
To God knows where
Phone conversations
Leading to sexual relations
Giving money
To your honey
Without a single worry
You're not just the judge
But the jury
Visiting your father when you can
Cause You're the man
Carrying yourself so cool
No one will ever think you're a fool
You wear three piece suits & cowboy boots
Holding your attache case
With a great big smile on your face
Beeper ringing
As cients call on your cell phone singing
As eloquent as you can be
You're a real turkey
With your good looking
Southern cooking
Female lurcher
Going to church sir
Captivating as you are
Speaking as well as a Hollywood star
Always looking for a good cause
Cause you're the man
Driving many cars & vans
Spoiling kids you know
While you're on the go
Giving cards with prayers
Always letting people know you care
Day in day out
Good words come from your mouth
Helping people as often as you can
Cause you're the man
You're the man
