Handsome men wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not rock or built to mock an athlete’s size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the strut of my legs
The gaze of my eyes,
The stride of my step,
The tone of my thighs.
I'm a man
Exceptionally,
Exceptional man,
That's me..you si
I walk into a room
Just as suave as you dream,
And to a woman,
The ladies stand or
Melt like heated ice cream.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the steam in my voice,
And the flash of my smile,
The aroma in my chest,
And the joy in my style.
I'm a man
Exceptionally,
Exceptional man,
That's me..you si
Women themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try much and most
But this man can’t boast
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the branch of my head,
The moon of my toes,
The ride of my shoulders,
The peace of my nose.
I'm a man
Exceptionally,
Exceptional man,
That's me..you si
Now you understand
Just why my heart’s not astray.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to fear a stingray.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the pop of my knees,
The touch of my stare,
The depth of my soul,
The hugs of my care,
'Cause I'm a man
Exceptionally,
Exceptional man,
That's me..you si
