==Background==
==Background==
The song was originally written (under the title "I'm Your Man") in 1991 while Cuomo was living at 2914 Urban Avenue in Los Angeles. The song was brought back in [[1997]] for two shows as the band [[Homie]], which Cuomo described as a chance to play "goofball", "country" songs. The song was rehearsed for a Homie album that never materialized. When asked about the song at [[Nerd Night]] 2 in [[2011]], Cuomo expressed an intent to release the original demo eventually [http://www.allthingsweezer.com/index.php?threads/nerd-night-2.25637/].
The song was originally written (under the title "I'm Your Man") in summer of 1991 while Cuomo was living at [[2914 Urban Avenue]] in Los Angeles. The song was brought back in [[1997]] for two shows as the band [[Homie]], which Cuomo described as a chance to play "goofball", "country" songs. The song was rehearsed and recorded in-studio (likely at Fort Apache Studios in Boston, MA) for a Homie album that never materialized.


In 2009, it was included on a [[HOMiE - Volume 1|Homie tribute album]] recorded by Lifetaker and runnersdialzero.
When asked about the song at [[Nerd Night]] 2 in [[2011]], Cuomo purportedly expressed an intent to release the original demo eventually.<ref>the nest. ''All Things Weezer''. 26 September 2011. https://www.allthingsweezer.com/index.php?threads/nerd-night-2.25637/ Screenshot of original thread: https://www.weezerpedia.com/wiki/File:Thenest_nerdnight-2011.png</ref> Early-90s demos of the song were leaked onto the [[riverscuomo.com demo storefront]] on [[riverscuomo.com]] on [[November 7]], [[2020]], and were shortly thereafter sold as single-quantity MP3s when the store launched on [[November 11]]. The demos were made available to purchase by all on [[November 22]] as part of the demo compilation ''[[Alone V: Before Weezer]]''.
 
In [[2009]], a cover of the song was included on a [[HOMiE - Volume 1|Homie tribute album]] recorded by Lifetaker and runnersdialzero.

Line 28: Line 115:


The little man came and sat down on my knee
The little man came and sat down on my knee
Picked my nose and said “What’s up?”
Picked his nose and said “What’s up?”
The big man came and sat me down on his knee
The big man came and sat me down on his knee
Picked my nose and said “Heads up!”
Picked my nose and said “Heads up!”

<poem>Hey, my darlin’!
You know that I’m your man
The little man came and sat down on my knee
Picked his nose and said “What’s up?”
The big man came and sat me down on his knee
Picked my nose and said “Heads up!”
I got no rose
No candy treats
I'll be damned if am a dandy man
My baby got me down on me knees
Singin hey, my darlin’!
You know that I’m your man
Hey, my darlin’!
You know that I’m your man
Well, I guess I lost by the luck of the toss
I mean "toss of the coin"
So it's you and me, babe, without any between us
But we got love, oh yeah
I got no rose
No candy treats
I'll be damned if am a dandy man
My baby got me down on me knees
Singin hey, my darlin’!
You know that I’m your man
Hey, my darlin’!
You know that I’m your man
I got no rose
No candy treats
I'll be damned if am a dandy man
My baby got me down on me knees
Singin hey, my darlin’!
You know that I’m your man
Hey, my darlin’!
You know that I’m your man


You know that I’m your man</poem>
