[Intro]
Woah yeah, oh yeah
Everythin', everythin', everythin'
Everythin' gonna be alright this mornin'
Oh yeah

[Verse 1]
Now when I was a young boy, at the age of 5
My mother said I was gonna be the greatest man alive
But now I'm a man wat passed 21
You gotta believe me honey I had lots of fun

[Chorus]
I'm a man
Spell M-A child -N
That represents man
No B-O child -Y
That mean mannish boy

I'm a natural born lovers man
Man!
I'm a rollin' stone
Man!
I'm a hoochie coochie man
Hey, hey

[Verse 2]
The line I shoot
Won't ever miss
The way I make love to a woman
They just can't resist
I'm a man
I'm a full grown
I'm a man
I'm a natural born lover man
Don't hurt me, don't hurt me child
Don't hurt me, don't hurt me child
Don't hurt me, don't, don't, don't hurt me child

[Verse 3]
The line I shoot
I'll never miss
When I make love to a woman
She can't resist
I think I go down to ol' [?]

Settin' up that line
I'm gonna make love to ya baby
In 5 minutes time
Ain't that a man

You know I'm made to move you honey

Somebody hand me my guitar over there!

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
