One Man Guy Lyrics
Rufus Wainwright
People will know when they see this show
The kind of a guy I am
Theyll recognize just what I stand for and what I just cant stand
Theyll perceive what I believe in
And what I know is true
And theyll recognize Im a one man guy
Always was through and through
People meditate
Hey thats just great
Trying to find the inner you
People depend on family and friend
And other folks to pull them through
I dont know why Im a one man guy
Or why Im a one man show
But these three cubic feet of bone and blood and meat are all I love and know
cause Im a one man guy in the morning
Same in the afternoon
One man guy when the sun goes down
I whistle me a one man tune
One man guy a one man guy
Only kind of guy to be
Im a one man guy
Im a one man guy
Im a one man guy is me
Im gonna bathe and shave
And dress myself and eat solo every night
Unplug the phone, sleep alone
Stay away out of sight
Sure its kind of lonely
Yeah its sort of sick
Being your own one and only
Is a dirty selfish trick
cause Im a one man guy in the morning
Same in the afternoon
One man guy when the sun goes down
I whistle me a one man tune
One man guy a one man guy
Only kind of guy to be
Im a one man guy
Im a one man guy
Im a one man guy is me
