Hey little mama, be my friend,
You can be the trouble that you think I'm in,
I'm a lovely man, lovely man,
Yes I am, I'm a lovely man.

I travelled the world, the first time in my life,
Fell in love with a woman but she wasn't my wife,
I'm a lovely man, lovely man,
Yes I am, I'm a lovely man

Ooh, lovely man, (keep on a-dancing and a-prancing)
Ooh.

Living high in a house of mirrors,
Let a girl named Delilah cut my hair,
I'm a lovely man, a lovely man,
Yes I am, I'm a lovely man.

You never told me when I started out,
I'd be sailing all alone in a sea of doubt and end a lonely, lonely man,
Lonely, lovely man.

Setting my sight on some bigger things,
Mama's old Cadillac and diamond rings,
I'm a lovely man, lovely man,
What I am is a lovely man.

Ooh, lovely man, (keep on a-dancing and a-prancing)
Ooh, lovely man,
Ooh, just a lovely man,
Ooh,
Lovely man.
