Story Behind The Song
After messing up on a few relationships, I seemed to have finally found one that fulfills my every need. As I said earlier, I met Linda during my first visit to Houston and we became very good friends. She was married at the time but friendship is friendship. At least until the celebration the night after the Cousteau Society Involvement Day in Houston. We all went out to dinner and the place where we dined had a dance floor. The DJ played some great old rock n' roll records and we all let our hair down. After six weeks of intense planning, the event was a success.
We deserved this celebration.
As the night wore on, and we, I, became more relaxed, Linda and I hit the dance floor. All I clearly remember is holding her tight and whispering in her ear, "I'd like to get to know you better." The rest, as they say, is history. Seasons passed, one thing led to another and we ultimately moved in together. We talked about getting married and decided that, due partially to our previously failed attempts, we would table that decision for as long as possible.
One night in my studio, I started plunking away at this idea for an upbeat, country tune and wound up, well, just listen to the lyrics.
Song Description
The song was written to propose to Linda. Of Course, she proposed to me before I had a chance to play it for her.

Lyrics
I'M YOUR MAN
Do you hope to hear love's songs whispered softly all night long?
Then baby, I'm your man!
And if you need a hand to hold, cuddle up when nights are cold?
Then baby, I'm your man!
Do you long to feel the thrill of what it's like to be fulfilled?
Then baby, I'm your man!
And if your lips wish to be kissed, desperate for excited bliss?
Then baby, I'm your man!
When you're feeling lost and lonely
You'll know that I love you only
Let me hold you, I will understand
When you're happy, joy's inside you
You can tell your heart to guide you
Right into my arms
If your heart's filled with desire dreaming to be set on fire?
Then baby, I'm your man!
And if you're searching for someone to cherish you, make lovin' fun?
Then baby, I'm your man!
Lovin' you is all I think of
Since the day we met I dream of
Staying here with you all of my life!
As the seasons change, my heart knows
We will share all our tomorrow's
I'm in love with you!
Lovin' you's my destiny, to be with you eternally!
Oh baby, I'm your man!
Honey, listen to my plea! Darlin' will you marry me?
'Cause Baby, I'm your man!
'Cause Baby, I'm your man!
