Man From Manhattan
Composer(s): Eddie Howell
First release by: Eddie Howell - 1976



Hey little lady do you love me 
As much as you tell me you do 
Oh I'm not them man you think I am 
The game I've been playing is through 

Hey little girl do you trust me 
Oh I'm gonna tell you no lies 
I'm gonna come clean, don't make a scene
I've been hiding behind a disguise 

Oh I'm the man from Manhattan, ole 
The man with a price on his head (lots of money) 
The man from Manhattan, the surface is satin 
But the lining is laden with lead 

Oh I've been a fugitive too long 
Running away with my fame 
My enemies flee at the sight of me 
They shake at the sound of my name 

Cause I'm the man from Mahnattan, ole 
The man with a price on his head (go and get the deputy)
The man from Manhattan, the surface is satin
But the lining is laden with lead

Don't be afraid, it's only a dream (I'm only dreaming) 
An imaginary hero, a vision
I've seen (ah ah ah ah ah) Cuckoo 

Oh I know my true destination 
The day will eventaully come 
I tell you my friend I know my end (will be) 
When I'm standing alone in the sight of a gun 

Oh I'm the man from Manhattan, ole 
The man with a price on his head (lots of money) 
The man from Manhattan, the surface is satin 
But the lining is laden with lead
