I'm Your Man
Michael Bubl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
I'll wear a mask for you
If you want a partner
Take my hand
Or if you want to strike me down in anger
Here I stand
If you want a boxer
I will step into the ring for you
And if you want a doctor
I'll examine every inch of you
If you want a driver
Climb inside
Or if you want to take me for a ride
You know you can, 'cause
I'm your man
[Chorus]
Ah, the moons too bright
The chains too tight
The beast won't go to sleep
I've been running through these promises to you
That I made and could not keep
Ah, but a man never got a woman back
Not by begging on his knees
I'd crawl to you, baby
And I'd fall at your feet
I'd howl at your beauty
Like a dog in heat
And I'd claw at your heart
And I'd tear at your sheet
I'd say please, 'cause
I'm your man
And if you've got to sleep
A moment on the road
I will steer for you
And if you want to work the street alone
I'll disappear for you
And if you want a father for your child
Or only want to walk with me a while
Across the sand, well
I'm your man
[Chorus]
I'm your man,
'Cause I'm your man
In Michael Bublé's song I'm Your Man, he is declaring his unconditional love and commitment to his partner. He is willing to do anything for her, even if it means wearing a mask or getting punched in the face. He presents himself as a versatile partner who can play different roles in her life, whether she needs a lover, partner, boxer, doctor, or driver. He is willing to make sacrifices and put her needs first, even if it means disappearing or steering for her. He admits that he has made promises to her that he couldn't keep, but he would do anything to win her back. He acknowledges the power dynamics in their relationship, with him being at her mercy, howling at her beauty and clawing at her heart. He ends the song by declaring that he is her man, and will always be there for her.
This song was originally written by Leonard Cohen in 1988 as a part of his album "I'm Your Man." The song has been covered by various artists such as Nick Cave, Shane MacGowan, and Nick Knowles.

The song was included in Bublé's album "Call Me Irresponsible," which debuted at number 2 on the Billboard 200 chart. The song received positive reviews from critics, who praised Bublé's vocals and interpretation of the song. In 2009, Bublé performed the song during the "Change Begins Within" concert for the David Lynch Foundation, which aimed to promote meditation for stress relief.
