Well it's 2 a. m
You're just getting in
Soon you'll be creepin' into bed
Later you'll pretend you were out with a friend
But I'm still inside your head

I don't understand
You say I'm your man
When it's clear you're seein' another
You can call me a fool for just loving' you
But girl I'll never find another

If you think he'll love you better
Your every wish is his command
Baby he's your man

Baby he's your man

Well, you spoke your mind
But I still can't find what's wrong with you and me
I got something' to say
And baby come what may
Baby we were never meant to be

So I want you to know
I can't let him go
'Til find a love that's real
I don't like this game
I don't need this pain
I'm just saying what I feel

I know he can love me better
My every wish is his command

Baby he's my man

Now I know I should love you better

Oh, my every every wish is his command

Baby he's your
Baby he's my
Baby he's your man
Baby he's my man

Toto is an American rock band formed in 1977 in Van Nuys in Los Angeles, California. The band’s current lineup consists of Joseph Williams (lead vocals), David Paich (keyboards, vocals), Steve Porcaro (keyboards), Steve Lukather (guitars, vocals), Shem von Schroeck (bass), and Shannon Forrest (drums). Toto is known for a musical style that combines elements of pop, rock, soul, funk, progressive rock, hard rock, R&B, blues, and jazz.

David Paich and Jeff Porcaro had played together as session musicians on several albums and decided to form a band. David Hungate, Steve Lukather, Steve Porcaro, and Bobby Kimball were recruited before their first album release. The band enjoyed great commercial success in the late 1970s and 1980s, beginning with the band’s eponymous debut released in 1978. With the release of the critically acclaimed and commercially successful Toto IV from 1982, Toto became one of the best-selling music groups of their era. They are best known for the Top 5 hits “Hold the Line”, “Rosanna”, and “Africa”. Several changes to the lineup have been made over the years. Hungate left in 1982 followed by Kimball in 1984 but rejoined the band in 1998 until 2008. Jeff Porcaro died in 1992 of a heart attack. Hungate rejoined Toto as a touring musician and later a band member. In 2008, Lukather announced his departure from the band, and the remaining band members later went their separate ways. In the summer of 2010, Toto reformed and went on a short European tour, with a new lineup, to benefit Mike Porcaro, who had been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and was no longer an active member of the band.

The band has released a total of 17 albums, and have sold over 40 million albums to date. The group was honored with several Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum in 2009.
