Isaac Hayes — Medley: Ikes Rap IV / A Brand New Me

You know dear, they say that ehm Behind every great man there's a woman But I know behind every man there's a woman It was said that man cannot live by bread alone But I feel that man cannot live alone at all I can witness to that because Before I met you, I wasn't living, I was just existing But you came along and turned dark days into sunny ones You see I got the same old friends but It seems now friendships are warmer I'm the same person But then I'm not the same person Because now I have faith In you At one time I had no faith in love Because I said love can only bring you pain You showed me that love can bring All the warmth and happiness that anyone could ever expect or hope to have It's the same clothes I used to wear But now I look like I'm the sharpest thing walkin' Same sun used to shine But now it seems to be brighter than ever before And I owe it all to you Because you made me a brand new man .... This is my same old coat And my same old shoes I was the same old me With the same old blues Then you touched my life Just by holding my hand And now I look in the mirror And I see a brand new man I got a brand new walk And I got a brand new smile Since I met you baby I got a brand new style Just because of you, girl Oh, just because of you Just because of you, oh yeah Just because of you I got the same old friends I got the same old sins Tell the same old jokes I give that same old grin But now the jokes sound so new And the laughter does too Every, everyday of my life Is as precious as a morning dew And don't you know That it's just because of you Oh baby, baby baby It's just because of you Just because of you, oh yeah Just because of you I go to the same old places See the same old faces Look up at the same old skies See them all with brand new eyes And it's just because of you, oh yeah, oh yeah Just because of you You, you, you, you I'm a brand new man Because of you And it's just because of you Oh you, I said you Brand new me, oh yes I am Just because of you, oh you You see you set my soul free Yes you did, oh Just because of you, you, you, you, you, you I got a brand new walk Yes I do Just because of you Brand new style Brand new style And it's just because of you Oh yeah, you, you I'm a brand new man, yes I am Just because of you, I said you, oh you I got the whole world in my hands And I owe it all Sweet you, wonderful you Brand new me, yeah Oh baby, just because You, you, you, you, you All because of you Oh Lord [incomprehensible], sounds so new And it's all because of you yeah Oh baby, baby Just because of you
