about

A swing, done B.B. King style, about a guy who is bad with time, money, and emotions, so, “not the man you want”. Still, a guy who will always try to treat you right.

lyrics

I’m not the man you want, I’m just the man I am
I’m not the man you want, I’m just the man I am
But I’ll treat you right baby, I will do the best that I can

You always talkin’ ‘bout money, about money I don’t care
Said, you talk about money, about money I don’t care
I didn’t say I had no money, I said I spent more than a millionaire

You tell me talk about my feelings, I keep ‘em to myself
You say talk ‘bout your feelings, you know I keep ‘em to myself
But I’m true to you baby, I don’t, love nobody else

You say I’m no good in the mornin’, ‘cause I stay up late at night
I ain’t no morning person, ‘cause I’m, up late, every night
But time don’t mean nothin’, ‘cause I always treat you right

I’m not the man you want, I’m just the man I am
I’m not the man you want, I’m just the man I am
But I’ll treat you right, baby, I will do the best I can

Kevin Greenwood Woodside, California

I began playing harmonica at 16 and was mentored by James Cotton, Junior Wells, and Louis Myers; getting to play with Magic Sam, Luther Tucker, Hound Dog Taylor and many others; and a personal friend of B.B. King from age 17. After a 35 year “blues retirement”, I'm back playing, here with a band of friends. Musically, this is my “debut at 72”. In my free time I'm a writer and substitute educator. ... more
