i'm a real man

Singer: john hiatt

i'm a real man

i got a real guitar

i'm a real man

don't even know where the boys are

i don't want to frighten you little girl

you're so sweet and nice

but i don't want to have to tell you twice

i'm a real man

i want to rock like a real man

don't get no shock from that

elevator music in your computer program

baby

how'd you like to rock with a real man?

yes i'm a real man

baby

i'm not lyin'

i'm thirty-one years old now and i still don't mind dyin'

you can put the voodoo on me

girl

there's nothing i can't dodge

check out this lincoln in my garage

kids

these days

i'm talkin' about these young folk

they're about as wild as pollyanna after she growed up

after a hard day at the casiotone they just don't want to live

they're about as dangerous as a junior executive

i'm a real man

i want to rock like a real man

don't get no shock from that

elevator music in your computer program

baby

how'd you like to rock with a real man?

every dollar i earn

girl

i let it all burn

and if i wind up in jail

well there's only one of two thousand

seven hundred and sixty-two women that i know

who would gladly pay my bail

now you might say i'm just some fool on a boast

but i wasn't gonna hear ya girl from coast to coast

this ain't dan rather talkin'

this ain't the president's son

but

ah

i'm still gonna have my fun

cause' i'm a real man

i got to rock like a real man

don't get no shock from that

elevator music in your computer program

baby

how'd you like to rock with a real man?

turn off that elevator music

in your computer program

baby

how'd you like to rock with a real man

turn off that elevator music

in your computer program

come on and rock with a real man
