Loudon Wainwright – I'm A One Man Guy lyrics

People will know when they see this show the kind of a guy I am.
They'll understand just what I stand for, and what I just can't stand.
They'll perceive what I believe in and what I know is true.
And they'll recognize I'm a one man guy, always was, through and through.

Chorus
Cause I'm a one man guy in the morning.
I'm the same in the afternoon.
One man guy when the sun goes down,
I whistle me a one man tune
One man guy, one man guy, only kind of guy to be
I'm a one man guy, a one man guy, and that one ma-ee-a-ee-on is me.
I'm a one man guy

People meditate, hey, thats just great
trying to find an inner you.
And people depend on family and friends,
And other folks to pull them through
I don't know why I'm a one man guy or why this is a one man show.
But these three cubic feet of bone and blood and meat are what I love and know.
Chorus

I'm gonna bathe and shave and dress myself and eat solo every night
Unplug the phone, sleep alone, stay way out of sight
Sure its kind of crazy, yeah its sort of sick
Being your own and only is a selfish dirty trick
Chorus
