A Man Like Me

It's like electricity

Cause baby you've never known a man like me"

The backing music for this song was influenced by music from the 1960's, especially the Beatles rock n roll music. There is also a bit of Henry Mancini influence in the bridge sections chord sequence.

The Beatles have been a mainstay of my musical life, ever since I used to sing along with friends to Beatles songs after school! By way of homage, I recorded most of the guitar parts for the song with an Epiphone Casino - a guitar favoured by several (3!) Beatles from the mid sixties onwards. 

John Mancuso (Washington DC, USA), took the backing music I had written, and wrote lyrics and sang the lead and harmony vocals. He has done a fantastic job of taking the backing music and making it into a song complete with some great hooks and excellent harmonies!

I mixed and mastered the song.

A Man Like Me   Lyrics by John Mancuso

Verse & chorus 1

Don't get worried, don't be scared to be

More in love than you thought you'd be

It's not a crime, You haven't lost your mind

It feels like a mystery,

Cause baby you've never known a man like me

Verse & Chorus 2

Don't be nervous, don't be wondering why

You want to have me as your only guy

You couldn't know...where this thing would go

Its nowhere in your history

Cause baby you've never known a man like me

Bridge 1

Its gotta feel strange inside with your mind in a whirl

You take it all in stride, if you're gonna be my girl

There's so many different things you're gonna see

With a man like me

Verse & chorus 3

I don't know if you'll ever understand

Why you get dizzy when I take your hand

Its not control, its just your heart I stole

Its like electricity

Cause baby you've never known a man like me

Bridge 2

Its gotta feel strange inside

With your mind in a whirl

You take it all in stride

If you're gonna be my girl

There's so many different things you're gonna see

With a man like me

Solo

Outro

it feels like a mystery

Cause baby you've never known a man like me
