about

Jobriath, alone at the piano, performing "Imaman".

lyrics

I'm a man
Yeah, I'm an elegant man
I'm a man
Satin bows and open toes are what I am

Yes, I'm a man
Yeah, I'm a fragile man
I'm a man
Light of step and soft of touch
A gentle man

You know, I could love you
But if I should love you
Then I would love you the way a man loves a woman
Take the place that I was given
My body claims my mind and soul
So let me be what I am
An elegant man

I'm a man
Charles, dust my pumps.

You know, I could love you
But if I should love you
Then I would love you the way a man loves a woman
Take the place that I was given
My body claims my mind and soul
So let me be what I am
A gentle man

Yes, I'm a man
So I'm an elegant man
I'm a man
Clara Bowes and open toes are what I am

Yes, I'm a man
And I can love you
Yes, I'm a man
And I can love you
Yes, I'm a man
La-la-la-la-la-la-love you
I'm a man
