Liner Notes: Only A Man
Hi Folks,
now it is time for talking about a real big, big problem:
I never had sex with a black girl
No topless squaw licked my wounds
No Babushka nursed my aching head and
no mermaid rescued me
I never had tea with a Chinese girl
Or been caressed from an Eskimo one
And the problem is:
How to explain to my girlfriend
that she may understand
There’s no problem with our relationship
Because I am only a man
I am only a man, just only a man
I never slept with an Egyptian fairy
No Gipsy maid spent tenderness
No beauty queen has ever kissed me
And no princess changed my life
I am not converted by a topless angel
And not even one Geisha made love to me
You see, there are a lot of things to do, but:
How to explain to my girlfriend
that she may understand
There’s no problem with our relationship
Because I am only a man
I am only a man, just only a man
And I really don’t know about reincarnation and all this fucking stuff…
So – how long shell I wait?
You can believe me my girlfriend does not look like an Eskimo
I don’t know why she does not understand.
(That) she’s not a woman of color
And thank God that she’s not a mermaid
Because I am only a man, just only a man
