Joe Cocker - The Man In Me Lyrics






The man in me will do nearly any task
As for compensation, there's a little he will ask
Take a woman like you
To get through to the man in me.

Storm clouds are raging all around my door
I think to myself I might not take it anymore
Take a woman like your kind
To find the man in me.

But, oh what a wonderful feeling
Just to know that you are near
It sets my heart a-reeling
From my toes up to my ears.

The man in me will hide sometimes to keep from being seen
But that's just because he doesn't want to turn into some machine
Take a woman like you
To get through to the man in me.

    Joe is one of the great singers that came out of the sixties, I don't think he's really been given the praise he should have gotten.

    presume inspired by Matumbi's version?

    @bunnybyle Wrong JOE was the 1st to cover this great DYLAN song! Bob Dylan enjoyed hearing Cockers take on his (dylans) songs ! Joe covered this tune just months after Bob wrote it! Recorded in Jamaica with the Wailers and great soul band STUFF summer 1976!!!

    M.... B....

    It states in the The life of Peter Tosh Stepping Razor Book that : The man in the mirror was Recorded at Randys in 1975, and that Matumbi had ALREADY recorded a reggae version. It’s on Wikipedia too ☺️
