Head East - Man I Wanna Be Lyrics






Some men can't be happy without makin' somebody cry
And some men gotta be famous and take all the stars from the sky
And some men find the answer in a big old house by the sea
But all I wanna be is your man, that's all that matters to me

Some men gotta have money or they can't sleep at night
And some men can't be happy without every pretty girl in sight
And some boys still need mama or they just can't get along
But all I wanna be is your man and nothing's gonna go wrong

You made a brand new life for me
Now I'm the man that I wanna be
Look in my eyes, it's easy to see
You made me the man I am, the man I wanna be

Yeah, come on...

You made a brand new life for me
Now I'm the man that I wanna me
Look in my eyes, it's easy to see
You made me the man I wanna be
Oh, I'm the man I wanna be
You made me the man I wanna be
You made me the man I am, the man I wanna be

    One of their best songs! Positive ROCKER. I was in HS in the late 70’s and loved Head East. Thanks for the memories guys.

  2. M.... G....

    One of my fav bands while growing up in So Cal in ‘70s. Love Somerville’s guitar work and Schlitt’s vocals. Way under appreciated. Met John Schlitt while walking into a Home Depot in Franklin TN several years ago and stopped him just to quickly say I appreciated him. He took the time to talk with me about for a few minutes.
    A very talented, gracious and humble guy who has survived life’s ups and downs.

    This song brings back so many memories..I am so glad that John truly became the Man I Wanna Be! Go Jesus Man!

    I believe this album was there best. I love them all but I had never heard this till a few years ago. John Schilllit is just such an amazing lead singer. Never saw him mwith Head East but saw him with Petra and one the best concerts I ever attened.

    You know, in my opinion, there's a lot to be said about illegal taping of live shows. Once the groups have lost a member, or disbanded or gone away, that's it. Record companies cry about lost sales, and the groups themselves complain that there is too much black market live taping. However, for years, I have waited for a professionally- done live Boston concert DVD, but now it's too late as Brad Delp is gone. Thank goodness for YouTube so I can catch the black market recordings!

    These guys were the first rock concert I'd ever attended - back in 1976 at Lake Superior State College in Sault Ste. Marie. I was 13. The warm-up band was Cheap Trick:)

  17. b.... ....

    Absolutely LOVE this song!

  19. I.... ....

  20. S.... A....

    Kick ass thanks !! I dont remember this song but then again I dont remember much of the 70's lol

  21. B.... M....

    "Head East Live!" is equal to any of the great live albums of the 1970s. Outrageously, it has never been released on compact disk in its original form, let alone fully remastered, as it surely deserves.

    I saw Head East on the "A Different Kind Of Crazy" tour, I believe John Schlitt's last with the band. Fantastic.

    Always loved "The Man I Wanna Be", it speaks to the Taoist that was always in me.

  22. M.... K....

    Awesome! i just met John Schlitt (lead singer) back in October!

  23. N.... ....

    Hey...saw these guys...I am mean the original lineup at there very last show..which was at the University of Kearney in Kearney, NE back in 1979!!! wow!! I want some live footage!!

  24. H.... ....

    As far as I know there is not. However, a YouTube member named HeadEastRocks told me that there may be someone who has some old footage from one of their live gigs who may be releasing it in the future. If I ever get a chance to post any of it I will.

  25. t.... ....

    do you no if theres any live concert footage
    of the original head east line up out there one of faverite bands of alltime
