I've spent close on sixteen years

Watching your pretty flower grow

Little girllittle girlnow tell me

Everything you know

About the oceans and the skies

The mountains and the trees

And then I'm tell you about

The birds and the honey bees



'cos I'm a love manyeahyeahyeah

I'm a love man

I'm a hootchie cootchie man

And I'm doing all I can

I just love to tease

I would do anything to please youbaby



Sweet little angelgive me your hand

Feel for my heartbeatbaby

Then you'll understand

About the bees and the honey

The bluebirds in the trees

And you'd knowjust to get close to you

I would get down on my knees



I am a love manyeahyeahyeah

I am a love man that's what I am

I'm a hootchie cootchie man

And I'm doing all I can

I could love to squeeze

I would do anything to please youbaby



BabyI am a love manyeahyeahyeah

I am a love man that's what I am

I'm a hootchie cootchie man

Doing all I can

I just love to tease

I would get down on my knees



So come a little closer

Let me whisper in your ear

How the good lord in his wisdom

Made you soand put you here



He played a little game

Called the apple and the snake

When the lady took her first sweet bite

The snake made no mistake



He was a love manyeahyeahyeah

And I am a love man

I'm a hootchie cootchie man

And I'm doing all I can

'cos a love man needs his loving everyday

YeahyeahyeahI am a love man
