Medley: Ike's 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
And you touched (touched) my life (my life)
Just by holding my hand
(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
(Walk, brand new)
And I got a brand new smile
(Smile, brand new)
Since I met you, baby
(Met you, baby)
I got a brand new style

(Just)
It was just because of you, girl
Oh, (just because), just because of you
Just because of you, oh, yeah
(Just because), just because of you

I got the same old friends
(Same old)
I got the same old sins
(Same old)
Tell the same old jokes, yeah
(Same old)
I give that same old grin
But now the jokes sound so new
(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
(You, ah)
Oh, baby, baby, baby
It's just because of you
Just because of you, oh, yeah
Just because of you

(Same old)
I go to the same old places
(Same old, same old)
See the same old faces
(Same old, same old)
Look up at the same old skies
(Same old, same old)
See them all with brand new eyes

(Just)
And it's just (because) because of you
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah
Just because of you
(You), you, you, (you), you, (you)
(Just)
I'm a brand new man
(Just because of you), of you
And it's just (just) because of you (you)
Oh you (you), I said you (you)
(Just)
Brand new me
(Because of you)
Oh, yes, I am
Just because of you (you), oh you
You see, you set my soul free
(Just because of you)
Yes, you did, oh
Just because of you, (you), you, you, (you), you, you, (you), you
(Just because of you), I got a brand new walk
Yes, I do
Just because (of you)
Brand new style
Brand new style
(Just)
And it's just because (of you), of you
(Just because), oh, yeah, (of) you, (you), you, (you)

(Just because)
I'm a brand new man
(Of you)
Yes, I am
Just because of you, (you), I said you, (you), oh you, (you)
(Just)
I got the whole world in my hands
(Because of you, oh)
(Just because)
And I owe it all
(Of you)
Sweet you, wonderful you
(Just)
Brand new me, yeah
(Because of you)
Oh, baby, just because (of) you, you, you, you, you
(Just because), all because of you (you, oh)
Oh Lord
(Just because of you, you, you)
Sounds so new
And it's all because of you yeah
(Just because of you)
Oh, baby, baby
Just because (of) you
You
