Curtis Mayfield
Number One Man
[Verse 1: Terry Ellis]
Well, five long years and a day ago
We met as friends and took that bonding road
Never knew where the road would end up, no no
Sometimes it feels like hell to me, yeah
I gotta keep it together 'cause it's good for me

[Chorus: En Vogue]
Sometimes you make me laugh
Sometimes you can make me cry
But I know that I love you
You're a very good friend of mine
Even though we may have fights
We know it's a part of life
(It's just a part of life, yeah yeah)
Wouldn't trade it for nothin'
Just trust in me, you'll always be
My number one man, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2: Terry Ellis]
I have no questions, so there is no answers, uh-uh
What's to be, is meant to be, oh yes it is
But it feels like treason, every time I reason
Found me parting ways with you
So tell me, what's a girl to do?
I guess I'm stuck with you, yeah
[Chorus: En Vogue]
Sometimes you make me laugh (Woo)
Sometimes you can make me cry
(Make me cry, woo woo, woo woo)
But I know that I love you
(You know I love you, baby)
You're a very good friend of mine (Mhm)
Even though we may have fights
(Oh, but that's alright)
We know it's a part of life
(It's just a part of life, yeah yeah)
Wouldn't trade it for nothin'
Just trust in me, you'll always be
My number one man, yeah, yeah

[Bridge: Cindy Herron]
The beauty and the pain
The part of life remains the same
That you made me see
Just what it means to me
To have someone that you can count on
When things are right and sometimes wrong
What a small price to pay
I bless the day you came my way

[Chorus: En Vogue & (Cindy)]
Sometimes you make me laugh
Sometimes you can make me cry (Oh yeah)
But I know that I love you
(I know that I love you)
You're a very good friend of mine
(You're gonna always be a good friend of mine)
Even though we may have fights
(Ooh, we may fight, baby)
We know it's a part of life
(It's just a part of life, yeah yeah)
Wouldn't trade it for nothin'
(Nothin', my sugar)
Just trust in me, you'll always be
(You're gonna always be)
My number one man, yeah, yeah (My man)
My number one man
(I said you're gonna always be my man, yeah)
My number one man
(My number one man, oh, yeah yeah yeah)
My number one man
(Said you're gonna always, always, always be my man)
Sometimes you make me laugh
(Sometimes you make me laugh)
Sometimes you can make me cry
(Ooh, sometimes you make me cry)
But I know that I love you
(But I love you, baby)
You're a very good friend of mine
(You're always, always)
Even though we may have fights
We know it's a part of life
(Ooh, it's just a part of life)
Wouldn't trade it for nothin'
Just trust in me, you'll always be
My number one man, yeah, yeah
