I Am The Man For You Baby - Edwin Starr

You search for the key to love, my darling

But it’s been hard to find

'Cause on every heart you found a lock

But there’s not a lock on mine, oh

I found you crying, so tired of trying

Sitting by yourself alone, girl

Reached out my hand, helped you to stand

Held you 'til your tears were gone, my darling

Oh yeah

Your eyes are dry now, open to see

Your search is ending right here with me, girl

Oh yeah, because

I am the man for you baby (I am the man)

To give you love and tenderness, my baby (I know that I can)

If you need someone to love and guide you (I am the man)

To lead you from the dark and stand beside you (I am the man)

'Cause I got the love you need, my darling

I got the love you want (I got it)

I give the feeling, you get the loving

You can have all you want, oh

You let me console you

And you listened while I told you

Girl, that you can stop the running

If what you need is loving, baby

Oh yeah

You can keep looking but soon you’ll see

Your tracks will lead you right back to me, girl

Oh yeah, because

I am the man (I am the man)

Don’t you know I’m the man (I know that I can)

If you need someone to wipe your crying eyes (I am the man)

To show you to a sweet enchanted paradise (I know that I can)

I am the man for you baby (I am the man)

To give you love and tenderness, my baby (I know that I can)

So come on and walk with me, my darling

Reach out your hand to me (I got it)

Your search is over, lean on my shoulder

I’ll make you so happy because

I am the man for you baby (I am the man)

To give you love and tenderness, my baby (I know that I can)

I’ll give you all the love, my darling, you will ever need

I’ll give you my whole heart and soul if you come walk with me

I’m the man, oh yes I am

Oh, I’m the man

You better believe that I’m the man

I’m the man
