B
Took my baby to a picture show
Found a seat in the back row
Sound came up lights went down
                            E
Rambo he was blowin' 'em down
                 B                 F#m
I don't need no gun in my fist baby
              C#m
All I need is your sweet kiss
           A                   B
To get me feelin' like a real man
 A                  B
Feelin' like a real man

Chorus:
              E
Well you can beat on your chest
          F#m
Hell any monkey can
                A                   B
But you got me feelin' like a real man
    A                   B
Oh feelin' like a real man

Me and my girl Saturday night
Late movie on Channel Five
The girls were droppin'
They're droppin' like flies
To some smooth-talkin', cool-walkin' private eye
I ain't got no nerves of steel
But all I got to know is if your love is real
To get me feelin' like a real man

Chorus

I ain't no fighter that's easy to see
And as a lover I ain't goin' down in history
But when the lights go down and you pull me close
Well I look in your eyes and there's one
thing I know
Baby, I'll be tough enough
If I can find the guts to give you all my love
Then I'll be feelin' like a real man
