[English]

Too many voices

Too many noises

Invisible wires keeping us apart

So many choices

But they're all disappointments

And they only steal me away from you

Climb into our private bubble

Let's get into all kinds of trouble

Slide over here let your hands feel the way

There's no better method to communicate

Girl stop your talking

Words just get in the way

I'll be your man

So baby come over

From the end of the sofa

I'll be your man

I'll be your man

So many faces

Staring at their shoelaces

When all anyone want is to be seen

So tonight let's be honest

We all want to be wanted

And darlin' you've got me wantin' you

Everything that I'm trying to say

Just sounds like a worn out cliche

Slide over here let your hands feel the way

There's no better method to communicate

Girl stop your talking

Words just get in the way

I'll be your man

So baby come over

From the end of the sofa

I'll be your man

I'll be your man

...

What are we all looking for?

Someone we just can't ignore

It's real love dripping from my heart

You've got me tripping

What are we all looking for?

Ooooooh

Slide over here let your hands feel the way

There's no better method to communicate

Girl stop your talking

Words just get in the way

I'll be your man

Slide over here let your hands feel the way

There's no better method to communicate

Girl stop your talking

Words just get in the way

I'll be your man

So baby come over

From the end of the sofa

I'll be your man

I'll be your man

I'll be your man

I'll be your man

I'll be your man

I'll be your man
