I'm Only a Man

I'm super-strong spearmint, I'm chili and chowder
you strike against my flint I'm lighted gunpowder
I'm red on my pressure valve
I'm a live volcano near eruption
cos darlin I'm only a man

my atom is burning with nuclear fission
my engine is turning with sparking ignition
my body's a lighted fuse
I'm dynamite and I'm near exploding
cos darlin I'm only a man

a man who keeps looking at you
keeps on looking at you
with a love so true

a man who can look in your eyes
and then feel his oven-bread is on the rise
oooooooh

a man who keeps looking at you
keeps on looking at you
with a love so true

a man can who look in your eyes
and then feel his batteries re-energize
ooooooooh

I'm burning with fire, my hooks are on tenter
you circle barbed wire, with me at your centre
if you were a carpet, ooh, I'd love to be your vacuum cleaner
cos darlin I'm only a man
