Coming to you, on a dusty road

Good loving, I got a truck load

And when you get it, you got something

So don't worry, 'cause I'm coming

{ deep backup }

I'm a (soul man)

I'm a (soul man)

I'm a (soul man)

I'm a (soul man)

Got what I got, the hard way

And I'll make better, each and every day

So honey, don't you fret

'cause you ain't seen nothing yet

{ deep backup }

I'm a (soul man), ow!

I'm a (soul man), play it Steve!

I'm a (soul man), ow!

I'm a (soul man), huh! Listen!

I was brought up, on a side street

Learned how to love, before I could eat

I was educated, from good stock

When I start loving I just can't stop

{ deep backup }

I'm a (soul man)

I'm a (soul man)

I'm a (soul man)

I'm a (soul man), huh!

Well grab the rope, and I'll pull you in

Give you hope, and be your only boyfriend ya ( ya ) ya ( ya ) help!

{ intro licks, modulate }

I'm a (soul man)

I'm a (soul man)

You're a (soul man) huh!

I'm a (soul man)

I'm a (soul man)

I'm a (soul man) huh hu
