Lyrics:

I'm coming to you, on a dusty road
Good loving, got a truck load
When you get it, you got something
So don't worry, 'cause I'm coming

Chorus:
I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man

That ain't all

Got what I got, the hard way
And I'll make it better, each and every day
So honey, don't you fret
Cause you ain't seen nothing yet

[Chorus]

I was brought up on a side street, look!
I learned how to love before I could eat
Educated, of good stock
But when I start lovin' I can't stop

[Chorus]

Well grab the rope,
And I'll pull you in
Give you hope,
And be your only boyfriend yeah yeah yeah yeah

[Chorus]
