Mannish Reprise Poem by Barry Middleton

Mannish Reprise

Rating: 4.5


I'm a man
no need for you to be alone
I'm a man
just want to rent, don't want to own
I'm a man
guess you could say a rolling stone
I'm a man
please step into my comfort zone

you are a woman
I know you need the same as me
you are a woman
you've got the lock, I've got the key
you are a woman
you're sweet as honey from the bee
you are a woman
you got the peaches, I got the tree

I'm a man
I hope that you can understand
you are a woman
come here and lead me by the hand
I'm a man
no need for you to be alone
I'm a man
please step into my comfort zone

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Mannish Boy is a Muddy Waters staple and an answer to Bo Diddley's version I'm a Man. My song is inspired by these two blues greats but is completely different.
