"The Urban Man" lyrics

Baby, baby, tryin' to get over
Gotta make it for you
Gotta make it for me

Hey, in this land of milk and honey
You can't taste it without some money
And times get a little tough livin' in the city

But with my resourcefulness
And the will to do my best
I will survive put cash in the kitty

You know it don't mean a thing you see
Without a woman like you beside me
You could help my dreams come true
And I've got so many things to do
A man has got to hustle

The urban man must be the best he can
To try to get over in the metropolis
The urban man must be the best man
To try to get over hey in the metropolis
The urban plan is designed for the thinker
To try to get over oh, in a cement jungle

Out of tenement slums you come
Reaganomics have just begun
Good things look so nice
When you don't have money

But with my resourcefulness
And the will to do my best
I will survive put cash in the kitty

Cause hey in this land of milk and honey
You can't taste it without some money
And times get a little tough livin' in the city

Through money don't mean a doggone thing to me
Without a woman like you beside me
Baby you could make my dreams come true
And I've got so many things to do
A man has got to hustle

The urban man must do the best he can
To try to get over in the metropolis
The urban plan is designed for the thinker
To try to get over in the metropolis

Hey, hey, hey
I'm gonna buy you pretty things girl
Cause you deserve it, baby
Gotta keep on keepin' on

A man has got to do
What he's gonna do

The urban man must do the best he can
To try to get over in the metropolis
The urban plan is designed for the thinker
To try to get over hey in the metropolis

I am the urban man and you are my lady
I am the urban man and I'm willin' and able
To work hard to put food on the table

The urban man must do the best he can
To try to get over in the metropolis
The urban plan is designed for the thinker
To try to get over in the metropolis
