Lyrics

One Man Guy

People will know

When they see this show

The kind of a guy I am

They'll understand what I stand for

And what I just can't stand

They'll perceive what I believe in

What I know is true

And they'll recognize I'm a one man guy

Always was through and through

I'm a one man guy in the morning

I'm the same in the afternoon

One man guy when the sun goes down

I whistle me a one man tune

I'm a one man guy a one man guy

Only kind of guy to be

I'm a one man guy

I'm a one man guy

I'm a one man guy is me

I'm a one man kind of a guy

People meditate

Hey that's just great

Trying to find the inner you

People depend on family and friends

And other folks to pull them through

I don't know why I'm a one man guy

Or why this is a one man show

But these three cubic feet of bone and blood and meat are what I love and know

I'm a one man guy in the morning

I'm the same in the afternoon

One man guy when the sun goes down

I whistle me a one man tune

I'm a one man guy a one man guy

Only kind of guy to be

I'm a one man guy

I'm a one man guy

I'm a one man guy is me

I'm a one man kind of a guy

I'm gonna bathe and shave

And dress myself and eat solo every night

Unplug the phone, sleep alone

Stay way out of sight

Sure it's kind of lonely

Yeah it's sort of sick

Being your own one and only

Is a selfish dirty trick

I'm a one man guy in the morning

I'm the same in the afternoon

One man guy when the sun goes down

I whistle me a one man tune

One man guy a one man guy

Only kind of guy to be

I'm a one man guy

I'm a one man guy

I'm a one man guy is me

I'm a one man guy
