"A Man" lyrics - BUFFY SAINTE-MARIE

Sweet and strong the way he loves me
Gentle, Gentle in my heart
I know he can feel
I know that he's real
I know he's a man

Just because he makes me want him
Like I never have before
I'm betting on him
I'm watching him win
All the woman I am

The way he is could heal my every day
Give me with his eyes what diamonds only try to say
And I need his love to help me carry on
To do my little miracles-
Well, love's the fuel I'm flying on

And of all the ways to love a man
I believe the best is this
To feel him beside you
To hold him inside you
And to know he's a man
