That Man
Emerald Caro Lyrics

I'm in a little bit of trouble
The situation I'm in currently is a bit problematic for me.

And I'm in real deep
I am heavily involved in this situation

From the beginning to the end
This has been the case all along

He was no more than a friend to me
He has always been nothing more than a friend to me

The thought is makin' me hazy
The thought of this situation is making me feel foggy and unclear

I think I better sit down
I should probably take a moment to gather my thoughts

'Cause like the sweetest serenade
Just like a lovely piece of music

Bet he knows he's got it made with me
He probably knows that I am interested in him

Twisting round on a carousel
My emotions are spinning like a carousel

This speeds' too much to stop
It all feels like it's happening too fast and I can't slow it down

One second I'm thinkin' I'm feeling the lust
One moment I am feeling a strong physical attraction

And then I feel a lot
And then all of a sudden I feel much more than just physical attraction

Ooh that man is like a flame
He is very attractive and passionate

And ooh that man plays me like a game
He likes to tease and flirt with me, making me unsure about how he really feels

My only sin is I can't win
I feel like I keep losing in this game of love

Ooh I wanna love that man
Despite everything, I still have very strong feelings for him and want to be with him

Ooh that man is on my list
He is someone I am interested in and attracted to

And ooh that man I wanna kiss
I want to be intimate with him

Now it's like I'm on a mission
It feels like finding him has become a goal or a mission for me

Headed everywhere
I am searching for him everywhere I go

And if it takes a little long
Even if it takes a while to find him

And it feels a little wrong, who cares?
Even if it feels like I'm doing something wrong or unlike myself, I don't care because I want to find him

My baby fits the description
The man I am looking for matches a certain description I have in mind

And does it easily
He fits that description very effortlessly

A little Gable, some Astaire
He is charming and confident like Clark Gable, and he can dance like Fred Astaire

When he dances I can hardly breathe
He is so attractive and powerful when he dances that it leaves me breathless

Someone call a doctor
This situation is so intense that I feel like I need medical attention

Need some help to rescue me
I am struggling to navigate these intense feelings and need help getting out of them

Ooh, I'm gonna find that man
I am determined to find the man I am looking for

You bet ya, I'm gonna find that man
I am absolutely certain that I will find him
