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 ))

You're a (( soul man )) huh!
I'm a (( soul man ))
I'm a (( soul man ))
I'm a (( soul man )) huh huh!
