The Man Songtext
von Randy Newman

Absolute control
Absolute power
I don′t have any power
I need power, power, power, power, power
Power, power
Absolute obedience to my every command

I want to be the man (You're the man)
I want to be the man (You′re the man)
I want to be the man (You're the man)
I've got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to

Bodyguards, gonna have bodyguards

When I walk into a club

With my bodyguards


They′ll say, "Excuse me
That′s Mr. Faust's table you′re sitting at
You can't sit there"
"Excuse me, sir
That′s Mr. Faust's chair your big ass is in
You can′t sit there"
"Excuse me, motherfucker
Don't you understand, motherfucker?

He's the man"
"What? You′re the man"
"I am?" "Yes, you are"
"I′m the man?" "You're the man"
(You′re the man) I'm the man (You′re the man)
Women will come, women will go

Big tits, pretty little tits, I just don't know
Goddammit, I just don′t know

Do I have your respect? Yes, you have it
Do I have your admiration? You know you got it
Do you get those good vibrations? Yes, we do, you're the man
I'm the man, I′m the man, I′m the man

Money, power, control
Equals love
