[Verse 1]
Hey, little lady do you love me?
As much as you tell me you do
Oh, I'm not the 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

[Chrous]
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

[Verse 2]
Oh, I've been a fugitive too long
Running away from my fame
My enemies flee at the sight of me
They shake at the sound of my name

[Chrous]
'Cause I'm the man from Manhattan, 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
[Bridge]
But don't be afraid
It's only a dream (I'm only dreaming)
An imaginary hero
A vision I have seen
Oooh, ah, ah, ah, cuckoo

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
I know my true destination
The day will eventually come
I tell you my friend I know my end will be
When I'm standing alone in the sights of a gun
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[Chrous]
Oh, I'm the man from Manhattan, ole
The man with a price on his head, yeah
The man from Manhattan
The surface is satin
But the lining is laden with lead
'Cause I'm the man from Manhattan, ole (everybody listen)
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 (oooh, oooh, lead)
