If I were a guitar
I'd like to be played by BB king
If I were a little dog
Rufus Thomas could walk me

Oh, but I'm a man
Who needs to be loved, baby
I'm a man, honey need to be needed
And I can think of nobody that
I want to need me better than you, baby

If I were a song
I'd like to be sung by the Rolling Stones
If I were a dance floor
James Brown could mash potatoes on
Me all night long

But I'm a man
Need someone to cook my favorite dish
I'm a man, baby
Who needs to grant someone's every wish
And I can think of nobody's
Wish I'd like to grant, honey
Better than yours, baby

And if I were a baseball
I'd like to be hit by Willie Mays
If I were a silly grin
I wanna be worn on Roger Miller's face

But I'm a man who needs to be loved
I'm a man, baby who needs to be wanted
And I can think of nobody that
I want to want me better than you, baby
