I Want That Man
Deborah Harry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want to piece of heaven before I die
I want to pair of big high heels, Catch the lights up on the ferris wheel
But what I really want I just can't buy
Here comes the 21st century
It's gonna be much better for a girl like me
'Cause I want everything I can
I want to move like what's his name, I'll keep the money, you can ha-ave the fame
Everything that's yours will soon be mine
Yeah, I want to be the queen of the USA, You can send me roses every other day
But what I really want I just can't buy
Here comes the 21st century
It's gonna be much better for a girl like me
'Cause I want everthing I can
But most of all I want that man, I want that man
I want to be kissed from head to toe, By that man i-in the very back row
But he won't even look me in the eye
Ahh-ah, I want his love to rain right down on me
I want him to be king of all my dreams
But what I really want I just can't buy
Here comes the 21st century
It's gonna be much better for a girl like me
'Cause I want everything I can
But most of all I want that man, I want that man
I want that man, (I want that man)
I want that man, (I want that man)
I want that man, (I want that man)
I want that man, (I want that man)
I want that man, I want that man
I said I want that man, Do you get the message
I want that man (fade)
The song "I Want That Man" by Deborah Harry was released in 1989 and became a hit in the United States and abroad. The lyrics speak of the desire for a man that the singer cannot have, and her wishes for experiences and possessions that she thinks will make her happy. The opening lines, "I want to dance with Harry Dean, Drive through Texas in a black limousine. I want a piece of heaven before I die" indicate the desire for adventure and excitement. The mention of "big high heels" and "catching lights up on the ferris wheel" implies a longing for a carefree and glamorous lifestyle.
The singer moves on to speak about wanting fame and fortune, but ultimately concludes with the repeated desire for "that man." It's unclear who "that man" is, but the lyrics suggest that he is someone the singer has been admiring from afar. She wants him to notice her and shower her with affection. The song is ultimately a confession of longing and a celebration of desire.

I wanna dance with Harry Dean
Drive through Texas in a black limousine
I want a piece of heaven before I die
I wanna pair of pink high heels
That catch the lights up on the Ferris wheel
But what I really want I just can't buy
Here comes the twenty-first century
It's gonna be much better for a girl like me
Cuz I want everything I can
But most of all I want that man
I want that man
I wanna move like what's his name
I'll keep the money, you can have the fame
Everything that's yours will soon be mine
Yeah, I wanna be the Queen of the USA
You could send me roses every other day
But what I really want I just can't buy
Here comes the twenty first century
It's gonna be much better for a girl like me
Cuz I want everything I can
But most of all I want that man
I want that man
Hey! I wanna be kissed from head to toe
By that man in the very back row
But he won't even look me in the eye
Ah, I want his love to rain right down on me
I want him to be king of all my dreams
But what I really want I just can't hide
Here comes the twenty first century
It's gonna be much better for a girl like me
Cuz I want everything I can
But most of all I want that man

@a.l.rockliffe
After listening to Debbie Harry for over 30 years, I have finally realised she probably has the perfect pop voice. Hats off to the 'Thompson Twins' for a fantastic song superbly produced.
@silentwitness536
She's 44 years old in this clip. Not too many people in their 40s would have this energy.
