At Ben's party, girl, that's where you and I
Have just met and sat close, side by side
To be true, this sweet attraction is just fabulous
For the two of us
You are wonderful, I ask you back to mine
For a little twosome, glass of wine
But as soon as we get to my house you get undressed
Give me a rest!
You're so dirty minded
Thanks but no, I'm really not that naughty kind
I am a man, no one-night-stand
I just can't do it on demand
Need a little more time
I'm just not getting laid
On the first date
I am a man, no one-night-stand
I don't think that's okay, my friend
If you want me, be careful, understand:
I'm just a man, no one-night-stand
Other people would love it, I agree
But I can't get used to it, you see
All those girls, gorgeous and gifted, crave one single thing:
Me in a string!
They don't take me for the man I am
No words wasted, I'm just prey to them
I am gold, I want some kids and a suburban home
A mortgage loan
All the girls who date me
Cannot cope and run, as far away as Haiti
I am a man, no one-night-stand
I just can't do it on demand
Need a little more time
I'm just not getting laid
On the first date
I am a man, no one-night-stand
I don't think that's okay, my friend
If you want me, be careful, understand:
I'm just a man, no one-night-stand
In the eighties, women said:
Our country needs new men
Now I'm here, I am way too late
Damn, I passed my sell-by-date
Today, all heroes must be hip
They're always ready to jump ship
The entire world is on the go
Play the game, put on a show
Commitment's gone like last year's snow
For fear that love will die and go
I keep my faith, and here I stand:
I am the update to that man
The man the ladies wanted way back then
I am a man, no one-night-stand
I just can't do it on demand
Need a little more time
I'm just not getting laid
On the first date
I am a man, no one-night-stand
I don't think that's okay, my friend
If you want me, be careful, understand:
I'm just a man, no one-night-stand
