๐Ÿ“–Lyrics "I'm A Man"  (originally sung by The Spencer Davis Group)

Well my pad is very messy, got whiskers on my chin
Never had no problems 'cause I've always paid the rent
I got no time for lovin'
Cause my time is all used up
I stand outside creatin'
All the groovy kinds of love
I'm a man, yes I am and I can't help but love you so
I'm a man, yes I am and I can't help but love you so
If I had my choice of matter
I'd would rather be with cats
All engrossed in mental chatter
Showing where your mind is at
While relating to each other
How strong the love can be
By resisting all the good times with each groovy chick we see
I'm a man yes I am and I can't help but love you so
I'm a man yes I am and I can't help but love you so
I've got to keep my image
While I'm standing on the floor
If I drop upon my knees
It's just to keep them on…

["I'm A Man" - written by Jimmy Miller & Steve Winwood]


๐Ÿ“–๐Ÿ“–Lyrics "Sounds So Fine"  (originally sung by Damian Davey)

When I feel low and I got not friends at all
I hit the town where I know a place to call
I join the crowd and at last I feel I'm winning...yeah
The sweat the heat and the atmosphere is spinning
And I am winning, and I am spinning, and winning

CHORUS
Sounds So Fine (you at ......)

You got a friend and the music all around
and feel the beat you are swaying with the sound
with no more blues is the perfect place to be...yeah
get on your feet and get down to you and me

and i am winning, and i am spinning....and winning

CHORUS x4
Sounds So Fine (you at ......)

Sounds So Fine...

(BREAK)

The sweat the heat and the atmosphere is spinning
And I am winning, and I am spinning, and winning

CHORUS x6
Sounds So Fine (you at ......)
