about

This old-school shuffle embodies the gut-bucket, laid back, let-me-tell-you-a-goddam-story songs that we love in Blues Arcadia. Harv's guitar riff opens the narrative, setting the scene before the rest of us jump in together on the anticipated turnaround. That lovely honky-tonk piano sound comes from an ancient upright piano in Black Box studios that I just had to use, and Jeremy's bass line throws a subtle nod to Ray Sharpe's Linda Lu. It all speaks to that yesteryear sound we were looking for. We even snuck some handclaps in at the end...
While many of Al's lyrics on this album are centred around personal struggles, bigger questions and poignant moments, I'm Your Man captures the often hilarious display that males engage in when trying to find themselves a mate: So, if you want to boogie a little bit, drink a little drink, or want a little love...... we're your man(s)!*
*Disclaimer: I am not a man. - Parmis (keys)

lyrics

If you want it, baby I got it
And if you need it, well get back on it
Set your mind at ease honey please
Get it while you can
If you want the best
Don’t settle for less
I’m your man

So do I need to
Hug and squeeze you
Tell you that I love you
Kiss and hug you
Set your mind at ease honey please
Get it while you can
If you want the best
Don’t settle for less
I’m your man

Some girls want to mess around
Have a little bit on the side
Some girls want to settle down
Waiting on Mister Right
Well, why waste your time
On the perfect guy
To spend your money like nickels and dimes
We could have a real expensive time
In cheap company

So, If you want it, baby I got it
And if you need it, well get back on it
Set your mind at ease honey please
Get it while you can
If you want the best
Don’t settle for less
I’m your man
If you want to boogie just a bit
I’m your man
If you want to drink a little drink
I’m your man
If you want to smoke a little…
If you want a little love
Baby, I’m your man.
