Soul Man

I ain't tryin' to be no gangster
I ain't tryin' to be no hustler
Just remember I'm a soul singer

Might be rollin' with my posse
My jeans might be hanging baggy
But remember, I'm a soul singer
I'm a soul man

Bring me your pain and I'll find you a melody
Tell me your fears, baby, I'll sing you the remedy
Don't let the sun go down without thinking about me
I'm that doctor you call, just when you fall
Sweeping you off your feet, yeah

I ain't tryin' to be no gangster
I ain't tryin' to be no hustler
Just remember I'm a soul singer

Might be rollin' with my posse
My jeans might be hanging baggy
But remember, I'm a soul singer
I'm a soul man, I'm a soul man, I'm a soul man, yeah

Lend me your heart, tell me just where you wanna go
I can make you dance or just cry at home alone
When sweet love is leaving, gotta find somewhere to be
Have no fear, I'm right here, all roads lead to me

I ain't tryin' to be no gangster
I ain't tryin' to be no hustler
Just remember, I'm a soul singer

Might be rollin' with my posse
My jeans might be hanging baggy
But remember, I'm a soul singer
I'm a soul man, I'm a soul man, I'm a soul man

If you need some sexual healing
(Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up)
If you think it's time to let it go
(Get up, get up, get up, get up)

If your house is not a home, oh
I'll wipe the tracks from your tears
Let's stay together through the years

I ain't tryin' to be no gangster
I ain't tryin' to be no hustler
Just remember, I'm a soul singer

Might be rollin' with my posse
My jeans might be hanging baggy
But remember, I'm a soul singer

I'm a soul man
(Find me a melody)
I'm a soul man
(Listen, give me some Marvin)

I ain't tryin' to be no gangster
(Give me some Luther)
I ain't tryin' to be no hustler
(Give me some Stevie)
Just remember, I'm a soul singer
(With a little smokey)

(Hit me with teddy)
Might be rollin' with my posse
(Give me some Otis)

My jeans might be hanging baggy
(Show me some Gladys)
But remember, I'm a soul singer
(Where's my Aretha, oh?)

I'm a soul man
(I'll sing a remedy)
I'm a soul man
(Sing it again instead)
I'm a soul man
