Gil Scott-Heron - A Legend In His Own Mind lyrics

Well he loved plenty women
From Canada to Mexico
They would love to see him coming and
Hate it when he had to go
A macho man before macho ever came to town
The only problem was not enough
Of him to go around

You know he had
Had more romances than LA's got stars
He had
Had more romances than Detroit's got cars
He's a, a legend in his own mind and
God's gift to women
On a day God wasn't giving up a thing

Well you hate to see him coming
When you're grooving at your favorite bar
He's the death of the party
And a self-proclaimed superstar
Got a permanent Jones to assure
You he's been everywhere
A show-stopping name-dropping answer to
The ladies' prayers

To hear him tell it he had
More romances than doctors got bills he had
Had more romances than Beverly got Hills
And he's a, a legend in his own mind and
And God's gift to women
On a day God wasn't giving up a thing

You don't have to listen
When he's rattling on, yeah
You don't have to listen
He's telling everybody else
You don't have to believe him
I don't think I'll ever believe him
Matter of fact he may
Well not believe himself (Say hey)

Well he loved plenty women
From Canada to Mexico
And they loved to see him coming and
Hated when he had to go
A macho man before macho ever came to town
The only problem was not enough
Of him to go around

You know he had
Had more romances than airplanes got gauges
He had
Had more romances than phone book got pages
He's a, a legend in his own mind and
God's gift to women
On a day God wasn't giving up a thing

He's a, a legend in his own mind and
God's gift to women
On a day God wasn't giving up
Wasn't giving up, wasn't giving up
He's a, a legend in his own mind and
God's gift to women
On a day God wasn't giving up a thing
