Honey, Don't You Want A Man Like Me? - Live In Chicago, 1978

Honey, honey, hey
Baby don't you want a man like me?
Honey, honey, hey
Baby don't you want a man like me?

He was a playboy type, he smoked a pipe
His favorite phrase was "OUTA-SITE!"
He had an Irish Setter
(Hrtch-a-pltch-hrtch-a-pltch-hrtch-a-pltch-arf!)

It was a single bar, a Tuesday night
The moon was dim, the band was tight

They did the bump together

What a splendid night (La-la-la-la)
Her teeth were white
The drinks were cheap, it was ladies nite
He was glad that he met her

She was an office girl (My name is Betty)
Her favorite group was (Hellen Reddy)
They discussed the weather

Honey,honey, hey
Baby don't you want a man like me?
Honey, honey, hey
Baby don't you want a man like me?
Honey, honey, hey
Baby don't you want a
Baby don't you want a
Baby don't you want a
Man!

She was a lonely sort, just a little too short
Her jokes were dumb and her favorite sports was hockey, in the winter

He was duly impressed and was quick to suggest
Any sport with a puck had to be 'bout the best
As he jabbed his elbow in her (get it honey? get it?)

Later on they went off to where the music was soft
The candles were drippy, they saw a real hippy
Who delivered their dinner

The rice was brown, and soon they found
That the crowd around that had jammed the room
Well it seemed to be getting thinner

Honey,honey, hey
Baby don't you want a man like me?
Honey, honey, hey
Baby don't you want a man like me?
Honey, honey, hey
Baby don't you want a
Baby don't you want a
Baby don't you want a
Man!

He took her home to a motor court
She would not kiss him, he tried to ignore it
But it made him angry! (Angry! it made me angry)

He called her a slut (Slut,slut,slut)
A pig (pig,pig,pig)
And a whore (whore, whore, whore)
A bitch (Bitch,bitch,bitch)
And a cunt (Cunt,cunt,cunt)
And she slammed the door (The door!)
In a petulant frenzy (A petulant frenzy)
This a petulant, Frenzy!
I'm petulant and i'm having a frenzy!

On the sofa she weeps
She weeps and she weeps
She weeps and she peeps
Through the curtain

He just got in his car
But the battery's dead
So he asked to use the phone
And she gives him some head
And that's the end of the story

Honey,honey, hey
Baby don't you want a man like me?
Honey, honey, hey
Baby don't you want a man like me?
Honey, honey, hey
Baby don't you want a
Baby don't you want a
Baby don't you want a
Man!
Baby don't you want a man sometimes?
