I Wanna Be Your Man

By John T. Marck

Written by Paul, this is a basic four-chord song that he wrote for Ringo to sing. Ringo had a very limited vocal range, and thus this song never strayed much from its five words in the title. A fair song, it met with greater success when the Rolling Stones recorded it, when it went to number 12 on the charts and helped develop the "Stones" into a superior act. It took numerous tracks for The Beatles to get this version, having recorded it on September 11, 12 and 30, and October 3, and 23, 1963.

I wanna be your lover baby, I wanna be your man

I wanna be your lover baby, I wanna be your man

Love you like no other baby, like no other can

Love you like no other baby, like no other can

I wanna be your man, I wanna be your man I wanna be your man, I wanna be your man

Tell me that you love me baby, let me understand

Tell me that you love me baby, I wanna be your man

I wanna be your lover baby, I wanna be your man

I wanna be your lover baby, I wanna be your man

I wanna be your man, I wanna be your man,  wanna be your man, I wanna be your man,

wow , oh, oh

I wanna be your lover baby, I wanna be your man

I wanna be your lover baby, I wanna be your man

Love you like no other baby, like no other can

Love you like no other baby, like no other can

I wanna be your man, I wanna be your man I wanna be your man, I wanna be your man,

wah

I wanna be your man, oh,

I wanna be your man, oh,

I wanna be your man, ho, ho
