Listen to What the Man Said

Listen to What the Man Said was recorded in 1975 during Wings' stop in New Orleans.  The song featured the newest member of Wings Joe English on drums.  Geoff Britton, who had been Wings drummer, was let go for various reasons.  He did not get along well with Jimmy McCulloch or Denny Laine, allegedly he was involved in an altercation with McCulloch that did not set well with the McCartney's.  Britton also gave an interview where he stated that he was the only health nut in the group that didn't take drugs, bad idea.  McCartney gave him the sack during the Venus and Mars sessions. 
            Listen to What the Man Said was the first single taken from the soon to be released album Venus and Mars.  Guest musicians on the song were Dave Mason on guitar and Tom Scott on saxophone. 
           The B-side of the single was Love in Song.  The single was released on May 16, 1975.  Both songs were written and produced by Paul McCartney.  The song went to number 6 on the British Charts and number 1 in America.  The song was included on the compilation albums: All the Best! and Wingspan: Hits and History.

Walking in the Park with Eloise

Walking in the Park with Eloise was written by Paul McCartney's father during the 1950's.  The song was recorded while Wings were in Nashville,Tennessee in June and July of 1974.  The new Wings line up of Paul, Linda, Denny Laine, Jimmy McCulloch and Geoff Britton are featured on the recording, along with Nashville legends Chet Atkins and Floyd Cramer.  The song was issued as a single backed with the McCartney instrumental Bridge on the River Suite.  The song was not credited to McCartney or Wings and sales were poor.  The song was credited to The Country Hams. 

Junior's Farm

Junior's Farm is a song written by Paul McCartney and recorded by Wings.  The song was released in October of 1974.  The recording for this song was done in Nashville Tennessee.  The band was staying at the farm of Curly Putnam Jr. in Nashville when Paul wrote the song. 

The song is a strong rocker, with a great guitar solo provided by Wings new lead guitarist, young Jimmy McCulloch.  The band also had a new drummer, Geoff Britton.  Britton didn't last long, conflicts with McCulloch and founding member Denny Laine eventually drove him out, but at the time the band was flying high.  They were fresh from the success of their album Band on the Run and Junior's Farm would climb the charts all over the world making it to number 3 in the US.  Even the flipside Sally G made it to number 17 on the charts.

Sally G, was also recorded in Nashville and has a definite country feel, compete with violins and steel guitar.  The lyrics are about a love gone wrong in Nashville Tennessee.

Band on the Run (Single)

The single Band on the Run was issued in America on April 8, 1974.  It was the fourth and bestselling single from the album of the same name.  In the US the B-side was Nineteen hundred and eighty-five, but in other parts of the world the band opted to put an unreleased track called Zoo gang as the B-side.

McCartney told DJ Paul Gambaccini that the song started with the line "if we ever get out of here".  A line which Paul attributes to George Harrison.  Apparently George uttered the line while sitting through a particularly long and boring meeting at Apple.  McCartney says that George was saying something like 'we are all prisoners in some way'.  Paul thought "that would be a good way to start an album".

Mrs. Vanderbilt

This single was released in January 1974.  Both the A-side and B-side were tracks from the album Band on the Run.  The songs were only released as a single in Continental Europe. The song "Mrs. Vanderbilt" was recorded in Lagos, Nigeria with additional sound being added in London.  "Bluebird" is an acoustic number that Wings used to perform during their acoustic breaks during their Wings Over the World Tour. The musicians who played on these songs were:
                                      Paul McCartney-Drums, Guitar, Bass & Vocals
                                      Linda McCartney-keyboards and backings vocals
                                      Denny Laine-Guitar and backing vocals
                                      Howey Casey-Saxophone

Jet

Jet is a single that was released in late 1973.  The song was taken from the 1973 album, Band on the Run.  When it was first released the song Mamunia was the b-side, but on later pressings it had been changed to the song Let Me Roll It.  McCartney's dog "Jet" is said to have been the original inspiration for the song.  The song rose to the number 7 spot on the charts in both the US and the UK.  The Australian band Jet, took their name from this song.  Paul McCartney, after more than 35 years, still includes both Jet and Let me Roll it in  his live shows.

Band on the Run

Band on the Run was released in December of 1973 and quickly climbed the charts in countries all around the world. This album, Wings' third, was the band's first triumph. Paul has said many times that this is his favorite Wings album. The album won a grammy and stayed on the charts for three years. Everything Paul has recorded since Band on the Run inevitably gets compared to it.

The album was not an easy one to make however. Paul's first choice to record was famed Abbey Road studios, but they were booked solid and Paul was forced to choose another venue for his band to work in. He asked EMI for a list of studios they owned or had access to around the world and after considering different parts of the world he decided on Nigeria. Paul and Linda both loved African music and thought it would be great to record in "the rhythm capital of the world".

Five days before they were to leave for Africa, lead guitarist Henry McCullough quit the band. Then, only three hours before departure, Denny Seiwell informed Paul that he wouldn't make the trip. So, two of the five five members of Wings quit just before the making of this album. Band on the Run is essentially a Paul McCartney/Denny Laine album. Linda added some back-up vocals here and there, but Paul and Denny played all the instruments and worked out the arrangements for the songs. Denny even co-wrote the song No Words with Paul.

Before they left, Paul and Linda thought Africa would be great. Lagos, Nigeria was near the coast. They thought they would lay around on the beach all day and record at leisure during the evening. Unfortunately it was the rainy season.

Other problems arose once they got there as well. The studio wasn't finished being built. They had to ask for glass to be put in the windows. Also, the African Musicians thought they were trying to steal their sounds, so there was tension there. Paul and Linda were mugged one evening when they ignored the rules about going out alone after dark. They were picked up by a roving band of criminals and taken to the beach where they were robbed and lucky to have escaped with their lives. Paul collapsed during recording and upon being taken to the hospital was informed he was smoking far too much. Through all of this they managed to create a masterpiece.

Paul played the bass guitar, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, drums, piano, organ and Denny Laine played guitar, percussion and bass guitar. Paul sang lead and Denny and Linda added backing vocals. The songs they recorded for the album were: Band on the Run, Jet, Bluebird, Mrs. Vanderbilt, Let me Roll it, Mamunia, No Words, Helen Wheels, Picasso's Last Words and Nineteen Hundred and Eighty-Five. The album was produced by Paul, with the assistance of engineer Geoff Emerick (Emerick worked with George Martin on a number of Beatle albums and is regarded very highly in the recording industry). There were a number of hit singles that were taken from the album as well. The song Picasso's last words was based on an article Dustin Hoffman had been reading that described Picasso's last words, "Drink to me, drink to my health, you know I can't drink anymore." Paul was in Jamaica vacationing and met Dustin Hoffman there and they were spending some time together, when Hoffman asked him if he could write a song about anything, Paul said it depended on the topic, so Hoffman showed him the article and Paul started playing his guitar and singing right there in front of him. (That's the story I heard anyway). It's a great album, even the cover attracts attention for the group Paul organized to be the "Band on the Run". In the cover photo were Talk show host Michael Parkinson, Actor/comedian Kenny Lynch, Actor Jame Coburn, Member of parliament and grandson of Sigmund Clement Freud, Actor Christopher Lee, Liverpool boxer John Conteh, and Paul, Linda and Denny. The album went Platinum three times over in the US and platinum in the UK. It went to number one in countries all over the world. It was a major triumph for Wings.

Helen Wheels

This song was inspired by a trip from Scotland to London, taken in Paul's Land Rover ("Hell on Wheels"). Helen Wheels was released in the US on October 26, 1973 and in the UK on November 3, 1973. The single was issued before the release of the album Band on the Run and was not included on the British version of the album, however in America, the song was included on the album.

The B-side of Helen Wheels was Country Dreamer. In the US the single made it to the number 10 spot on the charts. In the UK it went to number 12, Canada number 4 and Australia it reached the number 17 position.

Live and Let Die

This Wings single, and theme for the James Bond movie of the same name, was released in the summer of 1973. Paul had been asked to write the theme for the Sean Connery "James Bond" Movie Diamonds are Forever but because of various time conflicts it didn't work out. He was asked again by the 007 producers to write a theme, this time for Roger Moore's first Bond movie, Live and Let Die.

Traditionally Bond themes were sung by women, but Paul agreed to write the theme on the condition that he record the track with Wings and that their recording be used as the opening theme music. George Martin was brought in to write the score for the orchestra being used by Paul (this is the first time an ex Beatle worked with Beatles producer Martin since the break up of the group).

The producers liked George Martin and what he had done with Paul's track so much, they asked him to score the entire movie.

The song was nominated for an Oscar, and George Martin won a grammy for his arrangement on the song.

The flipside of the single Live and Let Die was a song written by Paul, but sung by Denny Laine. It was the first time Denny Laine performed the lead vocal on a Wings single. The song was called I Lie Around.

The single went to number seven on the charts in the UK, number 2 in the US, number 2 in Canada, 20 in New Zealand and 5 in Australia. Paul still regularly includes this song in his live shows to this day.

My Love

My Love was a single taken from the Red Rose Speedway album. It was released in March of 1973. This song was recorded live in Abbey Road studio. Paul had the orchestra, the band and all the recording people in place. He had worked out all the details of the song and the band and the orchestra were waiting for the count in....when lead guitarist, Henry McCullough, leaned over to Paul and said quietly "do you mind if I change the solo?" Paul thought for a second, swallowed nervously, and then said "you go ahead". As Paul himself would say later, it was the best solo McCullough ever played for Wings. Henry's solo made an already great song even better.

My Love would go on to become a huge hit. Over 2 million copies of the single were sold. The song became the first Wings "Standard". They would play it during every show, including Paul's Television special James Paul McCartney.

The B-Side was a song called The Mess. It was recorded live at a concert in the Hague, Netherlands in August of 1972. It's a pretty strong rock number.

The Single Went to number 1 in the United States, Number 2 in Canada, and 9 in the UK.

Red Rose Speedway

This was Paul McCartney's second album with his group Wings. The first album, Wings Wild Life, sold a bit modestly for an ex-Beatle and some attributed this to the the album being credited to the relatively unknown band....Wings. So, for this second album, Paul decided to credit the album to "Paul McCartney & Wings". The Wings Line-up at this time featured: Paul McCartney-Vocals, Bass, Guitars, Piano/Linda McCartney-Backing Vocals, Piano, percussion/Denny Laine-backing Vocals, Guitar, Bass/Henry McCullough-Guitar/Denny Seiwell-Drums.

Red Rose Speedway was released in May of 1973. It had been recorded from March to June, 1972 in Los Angeles and from the begininng of September to the end of October of 1972 in London. The title of the album is said to be inspired by McCartney housekeeper, Rose.

It was oringinally slated to be a double album, but on the advice of his business consultant, Paul decided to scale it back to a single album. The Harley Davidson motorcycle on the front cover was ordered especially for the photo shoot. Linda McCartney, Wings member and photographer, took the cover shot of Paul. Inside the gatefold sleeve was a 12 page booklet, showing pictures from Wings tour of Europe.

On the back cover there is a message, in braille, for Stevie Wonder thate reads "We Love You".

The first two lines, on the first song, were first heard on Paul's solo album Ram at the end of the reprise of Ram On.

There were 12 tracks on the original album release which lasted 42 minutes and 13 seconds.

The track list included: Big Barn Bed, My Love, Get on the Right Thing, Only One More Kiss, Little Lamb Dragonfly, Single Pigeon, When the Night, Loop (The first Indian on the Moon), Hold Me Tight, Lazy Dynamite, Hands of Love, Power Cut.

The last four songs on the album comprised an 11 minute, 16 second medley.

The CD release included bonus tracks which at various times included: I Lie Around, Country Dreamer, The Mess (live), C Moon, Hi Hi Hi.

The album, Red Rose Speedway, was received much better than Wings' initial album, Wild Life.

The album itself garnered mixed reviews, but after this album people began giving Wings the respect they deserved.

Hi, Hi, Hi

This was a single released by Wings in December of 1972. As soon as the song appeared it was banned by the BBC. A publicity man for the BBC said at the time: "the ban has nothing to do with drugs. We thought the record unfit because of the lyrics." (Like a rabbit I'm going to grab it and do it till the night is done.............indeed)

Paul has commented that "we wrote Hi, Hi, Hi in Spain, because we had a tour of Europe coming up. It was written purposely as a nice easy rocker. It's basically a rock and roll thing written on three rock and roll chords." It was to give them a good rock and roll number to play with their other material.

In 1972 Paul and Wings released three singles, two were banned. Give Ireland back to the Irish, for being to political and Hi, Hi, Hi was banned for racy lyrics. The single in between the two banned songs was Mary Had a Little Lamb, Paul's version of the nursery ryhme.

Hi, Hi, Hi was backed with the song C Moon. The single reached the number 5 position on the charts in the UK, the number 10 spot in the US, 5 in Canada, 16 in Germany, 20 in New Zealand and 29 in Australia.

Mary Had A Little Lamb

This was a Single released by Wings in May of 1972. It's the nursery rhyme put to music. Paul claims he did the song because his baby daughter Mary enjoyed hearing her name being sung.

The Beatles had reached such lofty heights that people would often kid with them, saying they could release anything on record: nursery rhymes, chants, etc.....and it would sell. I wonder if Paul was putting that to the test with this one. Paul and Linda when asked about the song after it's release said"it's a song for spring to make people happy." In another interview Paul said: " it was written for one of our kids, whose name is Mary, and I just realised if I'd sang that, she'd understand. That's it with us, that's what you might expect from us-just anything."

The flip side of Mary Had a Little Lamb was a decidedly adult song called Little Woman Love.

Little Woman Love is a great little piano rocker and it's definitely a lesser known gem in the McCartney catalogue.

The single made it to the number 9 spot on the British charts, Number 28 in the US, 41 in Canada, number 13 in New Zealand and 17 in Australia. Respectable for a nursery rhyme set to music.

Give Ireland Back to The Irish

Give Ireland back to the Irish was Paul McCartney's 5th single as an ex-Beatle. It was his first single with his new group Wings. The single was released February 25, 1972. This Single was written by the McCartney's and performed by Wings, which had increased by one. Lead Guitarist Henry McCullough (far right) was added to the group, which was now a five piece band.

The song was written as a reaction to the "Bloody Sunday" massacre in Northern Ireland on January 30th, 1972. The BBC banned the song almost immediately, which actually helped sales of the single (people were curious). BBC press officer Rodney Collins said the "song was banned because it made a political point rather than telling listeners that there was suffering and sadness resulting from the political situation. "

Henry McCullough was Irish. His brother, who lived in Ireland at the time, was actually beaten up because of the song.

Denny Laine, in an interview in the late 80's, said that he thought that "Paul was a bit naive" about the whole thing. Laine said none of them knew enough about the situation to comment publicly or to take a political stand.

Give Ireland back to the Irish reached number 16 on the British Charts, number 21 was the high point on the charts in the U.S., It made it to number 1 in both Ireland and Spain.

The B-side was an instrumental version of the A-side. (John Lennon also wrote a song about the massacre called Sunday Bloody Sunday.

Wild Life

Wild Life is the first album issued by Paul's newly formed group Wings. The album was issued in December of 1971. It rose to a high point of 11 on the British charts and number 10 on the US charts. The album sold well enough to receive a gold record award.

When the album was released it contained 10 tracks: Mumbo, Bip Bop, Love is Strange, Wild Life, Some People Never Know, I Am Your Singer, Bip Bop Link, Tomorrow, Dear Friend and Mumbo Link.

The CD release contained the bonus tracks: Oh Woman, Oh Why?, Mary Had A Little Lamb and Little Woman Love. Later CD issues would contain different bonus tracks)

Paul and Linda McCartney wrote the songs for this album and then decided it would be good to have a group to record and tour with. Paul asked Denny Seiwell, who had drummed on McCartney's Ram album, to be the drummer. Then he called Denny Laine, an original member of the Moody Blues. Laine had sung the Moodies big early sixties hit Go Now. Both Denny's accepted and Wings was born.

WINGS Left to Right:

Paul, Linda, Denny Seiwell and Denny Laine.

Paul: Bass, Guitar, Piano, Vocals

Linda: Keyboards, Percussion, backing vocals

Denny Laine: Guitars, Bass, backing vocals

Denny Seiwell: Drums and percussion.

The new group met at Paul's house in Scotland and began rehearsals and played a few live gigs at different Universities around England. They would show up unannounced at the universities and ask if they would like Paul McCartney to play a show. Most were skeptical until they went out to the van to see Paul and then gladly accepted.

After Playing together for a short time they headed for the studio to record their first album, Wild Life. McCartney had read that Bob Dylan had recorded an album in three days and thought that was a great idea. The album would be full of spontaneity and excitement if they didn't over think things.

It was a disaster. When the critics got a hold of this album they let Paul have it. It was the worst criticism he had ever received. Wings recorded the album in three days and then did overdubs and mixing. It took a total of three weeks.

Nicholas Schaffner a rock writer and critic, and Beatles expert said about Wildlife:

"Unfortunately, what might pass for "rough-hewn" with Dylan translated into "half-assed" in the case of Wild Life, released in the last weeks of 1971, and from which McCartney's customary musical craftsmanship was totally missing. The entire record was sloppily performed, musically listless, and lyrically excruciating. The opening track, "Mumbo," was made up on the spot while the tapes rolled -- and sounded like it. Another song consisted mainly of the lyric "bip bop bip bom bop bip bop bip bom bam" repeated endlessly to a lobotomized three-note melody. This was the one George said he found hard "to relate to." C'mon Paul, we know ya can do better than that! Even the one or two half-decent tunes, like "Tomorrow," were suffocated by Linda's gloppy oohs and aahs unaccountably mixed as high as the lead vocal.

And the liner notes were just as cutesy-pie as the music: "Inside this wrapper is the music they made. Can you dig it?"

The rock critics not only couldn't "dig" Wild Life, they gored it with a vengeance. Most of them were already inclined to take Lennon's side in the Beatles' civil war; Paul was viewed as a traitor to the counterculture, who had split up the Beatles and sold his soul to bubblegum. In its end-of-1971 awards, Crawdaddy wished Wings a "crash landing." Bootleg Beatle albums appeared with covers caricaturing Paul as a bloated pig, while A. J. Weberman staged demonstrations outside the Eastmans' Park Avenue pad. The anti-McCartney hysteria got pretty silly, but Wild Life certainly didn't help Paul's case any."

There are a few bright moments on the album, but they are not enough to save this album. Fortunately Paul took the next album more seriously, but not before stubbing his toe on the next two singles.

(Dear Friend was an open letter to John Lennon trying to move past the arguing and bitterness)

Eat At Home

This was another single taken from Paul's second solo album Ram. It had a limited release. It was not issued as a single in the UK or the US. It was released in August of 1971 in Germany, New Zealand and Australia. In New Zealand the single climbed to the number 7 spot, while in Autralia it only made it as high as 21 on the charts.

The B-side of this single was Smile Away another song taken from the Ram album. Later when Paul formed his group Wings they would often play the song Eat at Home during their shows.

When a reporter asked him about the song in 1975 Paul said "it was a plea for homecooking-it's obscene."

The Back Seat of My Car

This was the final cut on the Ram album. It was also released as a single on Friday August 13th, 1971. The Back Seat of my Car was a song Paul had written during his days with the Beatles. If you watch the movie Let it Be there is a scene where Paul can be heard singing this song.

The flip side of this single was the song Heart of the Country. This single reached a high point of 39 on the British charts and was never released in the United States. So this was the worst selling of his first three singles as a solo artist.

Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey

This was a song from the Ram album that was released as a single on Monday August 2nd, 1971. The B-Side of Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey was Too Many People.

The single was credited to Paul and Linda McCartney and sold well. It made it to number 1 on the U.S. hot 100. It also did well in other countries. It went to number 1 in Canada and New Zealand, while reaching the 5 position in Australia.

Paul had an Uncle Albert who died when he was a boy. According to McCartney his Uncle Albert was a good man who would occasionally get drunk and while drunk he would stand on a table in the house reading out bible passages.

Admiral Halsey was a much admired American Admiral.

The engineers and musicians who worked on this song all have fond memories of working with Paul. The Song was recorded in New York City during the Ram sessions.

Ram

Ram: Was released by Apple Records in 1971

Ram was a Paul and Linda McCartney album. They shared equal billing and production credit. The couple also designed the album cover together. Ram was Paul's first album recorded outside of England. All of the tracks for this album were recorded in a studio in New York City. Unlike Paul's first solo album, where he played all the instruments himself, he brought in studio musicians to play on this album. Drummer Denny Seiwell was recruited and guitarist Dave Spinozza. Hugh McCracken had been Paul's first choice for guitar, but he was busy working on another album at the time. Later, when Paul and Dave Spinozza were not seeing eye to eye Dave left and Linda called Hugh again and this time he cancelled his other plans to work with Paul.

There were twelve tracks included on the Ram album. They were:

1. Too Many People

2. 3 Legs

3. Ram On

4. Dear Boy

5. Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey

6. Smile Away

7. Heart of the Country

8. Monkberry Moon Delight

9. Eat at Home

10. Long Haired Lady

11. Ram On (Reprise)

12. Back Seat of My Car

John and Yoko believed the song Too Many People was about them and when listening to the song it's hard to argue with them. Also, the other three Beatles believed the song 3 Legs was somehow a shot at them.

Paul is seen grabbing the horns of a Ram on the cover and inside the cover of this album. John Lennon would later make fun of this by having a photograph of himself, grabbing the ears of a pig, put inside his album Imagine.

On the back cover of the album sleeve there was a picture of two beetles copulating. Many interpret this as Paul's way of saying he was being screwed by the other Beatles in their business dealings.

George Harrison has said he liked the song Eat at Home on this album. Ram made it to number 2 on the U.S. charts in 1971, and to the number 1 position on the charts in the U.K., New Zealand and Norway. The album was certified Platinum.

Another Day

Paul McCartney's first single as a solo artist was the song Another Day. The song was released in 1971 with the writing credit going to Paul and Linda McCartney. The writing credit drew major controversy because the Beatles were involved in a lawsuit to disolve the group and all of their assets had been frozen. Many, including Sir Lew Grade who owned John and Paul's publishing rights until 1976, thought that Linda was being credited as cowriter to guarantee the McCartney's a share of the songwriting royalties. Paul denied this, and after a brief legal battle decided to disolve the McCartney/McCartney songwriting partnership.

John Lennon refers to this song negatively in his song How do you Sleep?

Another Day was backed by the song Oh Woman, Oh Why? Which was a bit of a different song for the normally reserved Paul.

Paul has performed Another Day at various points in his career.

McCartney

In 1970, amidst all sorts of Beatle squabbling, Paul McCartney borrowed some recording equipment from EMI and headed for his home in Scotland. While there he recorded material that would ultimately be released as his first solo album. He and his family decided to spend some time alone, out of the public eye, which led to the "Paul is dead rumor" (which is a story for another time).

On this, his first solo album, Paul included 14 tracks:

1. The Lovely Linda

2. That Would Be Something

3. Valentine Day

4. Every Night

5. Hot As Sun

6. Glasses

7. Junk

8. Man We Was Lonely

9. Oo You

10. Momma Miss America

11. Teddy Boy

12. Singalong Junk

13. Maybe I'm Amazed

14. Kreen-Akrore

About half the songs were instrumentals. A few were Beatle leftovers. Paul wrote all the songs, played all the instruments and sang all the vocals except for a few backing vocals that were added by his wife, Linda. The album has a "homey" feel. He recorded the songs in the living room of his Scottish house. You can hear the kids in the background and Linda cooking, all of this background noise was left in on purpose. Many critics are torn on how to rate this album. On the one hand you have some sincere, from the heart music which although not polished certainly sounds good. On the other hand you have a number of tracks that sound half finished or like demos of songs.

Whether you find this album charming or unfinished nonsense, most people agree that the song Maybe I'm Amazed is McCartney's first major song on his own. It is written for his wife Linda and it shows how he was feeling as the world he knew (The Beatles) was crumbling around him.

This is still one of my favorite McCartney songs. It's a great piano number with an outstanding guitar solo. Many people like Jimmy McCulloch's Wings version of the solo, but I prefer Paul's more raw original. The solo the way Paul played it has emotion and power.

Maybe I'm Amazed by Paul McCartney

baby, i'm amazed at the way you love me all the time,

and maybe i'm afraid of the way i leave you.

maybe i'm amazed at the way you pulled me out of time,

you hung me on the line.

maybe i'm amazed at the way i really need you.

baby, i'm a man, maybe i'm a lonely man who's in the middle of something

that he doesn't really understand.

baby, i'm a man,

and maybe you're the only woman who could ever help me.

baby, won't you help me to understand?

ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh.

oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,oh, oh, oh,oh, oh, oh, oh,oh.

baby, i'm a man, maybe i'm a lonely manwho's in the middle of something

that he doesn't really understand.

baby, i'm a man,and maybe you're the only woman who could ever help me.

baby, won't you help me to understand?

ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh.

maybe i'm amazed at the way you're with me all the time,

maybe i'm afraid of the way leave you.

maybe i'm amazed at the way you help me sing my song,

right me when i'm wrong-maybe i'm amazed at the way i really need you.
