A Man Who Isn't so Smooth - Thelma Houston

I like a man who fumbles some

Who stumbles to my arms a little clumsy

And he comes to me because he wants me

And he comes to me with nothing to prove

I just want a man, I’d like to find a man

Oh I, I need a man who isn’t so smooth, uh-huh

Ooh, I’d like a guy who’s just a little shy

Who doesn’t try to be an advertisement, no

And his excitement, when he holds me in his arms

Has got the kind of charm, ooh, that you never can lose

I just want a man, I’d like to find a man

You know I, I need a man who isn’t so smooth

And he can be crazy like the moon, if he wants to

Ooh, just as long as I’m the sun in his sky

Oh, and every night up in the stars above

There’s a place he takes me to, that’s only his and mine

Ooh, I’d like a man who calls me by my name

And not some name he’s called someone before me

And he’ll adore me for the woman I was born

The one that’s unadorned, ooh, and so often confused

I just want a man, I’d like to find a man

You know, I need a man who isn’t so smooth

I know you’re out there somewhere, baby

I’m looking for the real thing

I just want a guy who’s a little bit shy sometimes

I have so much love to give you, baby, mm-hmm

I need a man I can count on

Somebody I know is gonna be there

Every time I need him, hey, hey, oh yeah, uh-huh

I want somebody, who’s not so smooth…
