Let me tell you 'bout some people
When they reach your crossroads
They don't know which way to choose
They can go to the right
And they can go to the left
But wherever they go they're gonna lose
When they go to a baker to buy some bread
They don't know if it's gotta be brown if it's gotta be white
And their second hand car never runs very far
And their eyes are like an endless fight
But not me, you'll see, not me

I'm a man with a plan
And I know who I am
And I know what I'm gonna do
I'm a man with a plan
And I know what I can
And I'm gonna walk right up to you

Hear the story 'bout Jill
She was so in love with Bill
But at the same time she had an eye or two on Joe
Now she couldn't marry twice
So she had to throw the dice
Bill and Jill went off to Mexico
But not me, you'll see, not me

I'm a man with a plan
And I know who I am
And I know what I'm gonna do
I'm a man with a plan
And I know what I can
And I'm gonna walk right up to you

I'm a man with a plan
And I know who I am
And I know what I'm gonna do
I'm a man with a plan
And I know what I can
And I'm gonna walk right up to you-ou
And I'm gonna walk right up to you
