"I'm Not A Man" lyrics

"I'm Not A Man"

Don Juan, picaresque, wife-beater vest
Cold hand, ice man, warring caveman

Well, if this is what it takes to describe
I'm not a man

Wheeler-dealer, mover-shaker, Casanova
Beef-a-ronie, ah-ah, but lonely

Well, if this what it takes to describe
I'm not a man, I'm not a man
I'm something much bigger
And better than a man

Wise-ass, smart-ass, workaholic
Thick-skinned, two-fisted, hombre, ole

Well, if these are terms
You'd use to describe—

Oh, I'm shaking
Look at me, I'm quaking
True grit, true blue, kill crazy
So very manly of you
You are the soldier
Who won't get much older
You are the Slow Joe
Who signed up to go, oh, oh, hoo-hoo
Woo-woo, woo-woo

Wolf down, wolf down, T-bone steak
Wolf down, cancer of the prostate
Ways to sit, and of course, ways to stand

I'm not a man, I'm not a man
No big fat locker-room, hockey-jock laughing
I am not a man
I'd never kill or eat an animal, animal, ani—
And I never would destroy this planet I am on
Well, what d'you think I am, a man?
