I've spent close on sixteen years
Watching your pretty flower grow
Little girl, little girl, now tell me
Everything you know
About the oceans and the skies,
The mountains and the trees,
And then i'm tell you about
The birds and the honey bees

'cos i'm a love man, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I'm a love man
I'm a hootchie cootchie man
And i'm doing all i can
I just love to tease,
I would do anything to please you, baby

Sweet little angel, give me your hand,
Feel for my heartbeat, baby,
Then you'll understand
About the bees and the honey,
The bluebirds in the trees,
And you'd know, just to get close to you
I would get down on my knees

I am a love man, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I am a love man that's what i am
I'm a hootchie cootchie man
And i'm doing all i can
I could love to squeeze,
I would do anything to please you, baby

Baby, i am a love man, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I am a love man that's what i am
I'm a hootchie cootchie man,
Doing all i can
I just love to tease,
I would get down on my knees

So come a little closer,
Let me whisper in your ear
How the good lord in his wisdom
Made you so, and put you here

He played a little game
Called the apple and the snake,
When the lady took her first sweet bite
The snake made no mistake

He was a love man, yeah, yeah, yeah,
And i am a love man
I'm a hootchie cootchie man
And i'm doing all i can,
'cos a love man needs his loving everyday
Yeah, yeah, yeah, i am a love man
