Medley: Ike’s Rap IV / A Brand New Me LyricsYou 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
