I Gotta Be Your Man Lyrics

Let me be your lover boy
Just want to hold your hand
Something we might both enjoy
Can you understand

Now I been waitin' for a long time
For you to tell me that you'd be mine
And honey I'm doin' the best I can
But I got to be your man

I got to be your man
I got to
That great big moon that shines
Down in the sky above

Remindin' me of love baby
Whoa, I'm really gonna give it to ya
And in our solitude
I hold you in my arms

Captivated by your charms
Whoa
Whoa, now you're gonna get it
When the mornin' sun comes up

I'll be there by your side
Fetch your coffee in your favorite cup
Do anything to keep you satisfied
Now people say this, people say that

People say they know where it's at
But the proof of the pudding is in the pan
And I gotta be your man
I gotta be your man

I gotta be it
There's somethin' you should know
Tell ya where I stand
Never gonna let you go

Yours to worship or command
I been waitin' for a long time
For you to tell me that you'd be mine
Honey I'm doin' the best I can

But I got to be your man
I got to be your man
I got to be your man

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
