When we're out on the town
He's in his tight bluejeans Women give him the eye As they pass by And once in a while He might return their looks But I understand A Man Is A Man Sometimes he seems A million miles away Talking sports to the guys On a long Saturday And he might mention An old romance Well, nobody's perfect A Man Is A Man A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do That's okay if he takes care of you A man's gotta be what a man's gotta be But he'd better save his last dance for me He's gotta take care of me When I need a friend Stand by me Until the end He's gotta be there at night When the lights go down Love me like nobody can A Man Is A Man solo A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do That's okay if he takes care of you A man's gotta be what a man's gotta be But he'd better save his last dance for me He's gotta take care of me When I need a friend Stand by me Until the end He's gotta be there at night When the lights go down Love me like nobody can A Man Is A Man He's gotta love me like nobody can A Man Is A Man Jim Colyer ascap |

| A MAN NEEDS A WOMAN | A MAN NEEDS A WOMAN
No one knows a man needs a woman better than a man who does not have one.
I got my job I make enough to get by My bills are paid I own my own place But every night when I come home I look around and I'm alone A Man Needs A Woman I got some friends We hang out together It's baseball games Karaoke bars But when they turn out the lights And you've got to face the night A Man Needs A Woman This loneliness surrounds me As I rise from my bed The Waffle House Has become my second home They turn around to look (Faces turn 'round to look) As I walk through the door They're desperate I see it in their eyes The sun comes up I tell myself I must go on Who could she be? This woman that I need This emptiness inside me Is more than I can stand A Man Needs A Woman Jim Colyer ascap |
A MAN NEEDS A WOMAN
The night I wrote it, I rose from my bed and went to the Waffle House on Murfreesboro Road in Nashville. |

I'd swim the ocean blue
If I thought I could reach you I'd brave the darkest night If I had you in my sight I'd do most anything To win your love To write the songs you sing Agnetha Your kisses thrill me As I feel your warm embrace I'd walk a million miles To see your smiling face I'd do most anything To win your love Wear my wedding ring Agnetha For you, Agnetha, I'd live I'd give you all my love I'd give it all To know what you're thinking of For you, Agnetha, I'd change I'd dedicate my life I'd give it all Just to have you for my wife solo You are so beautiful Like an angel when you're near I'd climb the mountains high Without knowing any fear I'd do most anything For your precious love To write the songs you sing Agnetha Wear my wedding ring Agnetha Jim Colyer ascap |

BACK IN THE 60S
I wrote this on a city bus in Las Vegas in 1993. I was the first boy at Eastern High School in Louisville, Kentucky to have long hair after The Beatles came over in 1964. I turned 21 in 1967 and drove a Chevrolet Impala. Candy Heim was my girl friend. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon, July 20, 1969. The Woodstock rock festival was in August. I had no desire to go to Vietnam. Jane is Jane Fonda. Raquel is Raquel Welch. Tricky Dicky is Richard Nixon. The Watergate scandal occurred 1972-74. I blend my personal life with national and world events. |

Chemistry
It's you and me Destiny You set me free Chemistry It's plain to see Heavenly You set me free The way we can't keep our hands off each other The way we look into each other's eyes The way you turn me on, I feel like an animal I tingle when you put your lips to mine You can't deny there's a bond between us You can't deny this mutual attraction It's destiny, It's heavenly It's Chemistry The way we're always thinking the same thoughts Even speaking the very same words I want sparks and, baby, you got 'em I need love, I'm safe in your arms You can't deny there's a bond between us You can't deny this mutual attraction It's destiny, It's heavenly It's Chemistry Hormones are kicking in Emotions are running wild Atoms and molecules Pouring on the fuel solo The way we can't keep our hands off each other The way we look into each other's eyes The way you turn me on, I feel like an animal I tingle when you put your lips to mine You can't deny there's a bond between us You can't deny this mutual attraction It's destiny, so heavenly It's Chemistry It's destiny, It's heavenly It's Chemistry Chemistry It's you and me Destiny You set me free Chemistry It's plain to see Heavenly You set me free Jim Colyer ascap |
