a legend in his own mind
scott-heron, gil
well he loved plenty women from canada to mexico
they would to love to see him coming and hated when he had to go
a macho man before macho ever came to town
the only problem was not enough of him to go around
you know he had had more romances than l.a.'s got stars
he had had more romances than detroit's got cars
a legend in his own mind and god's gift to women
on a day god wasn't giving up a thing
well you hate to see him coming when you're grooving at your favorite bar
he's the death of the party and a self-proclaimed superstar
got permanent jones to assure you he's been everywhere
a show stopping name dropping answer to the ladies' prayers
to hear him telling he had more romances than doctors got bills
he had had more romances than beverly got hills
a legend in his own mind and god's gift to women
on a day god wasn't giving up a thing
you don't have to listen when he's rattling on
he's telling everybody else
you don't have to believe him
i don't think i'll ever believe him
matter of fact he may well not believe himself
well he loved plenty women from canada to mexico
and they loved to see him coming and hated when he had to go
a macho man before macho ever came to town
the only problem was not enough of him to go around
you know he had had more romances than airplanes got gauges
he had had more romances than phone books got pages
a legend in his own mind and god's gift to women
on a day god wasn't giving up a thing
a legend in his own mind and god's gift to women
on a day god wasn't giving up
a legend in his own mind and god's gift to women
on a day god wasn't giving up a thing
