  			G                                      D 
Tell me where is she going now 
 -                                    Am 
Have I frightened her today ? 
C 
I'm a man understand 
                           D 
we've got funny ways . 
G                                        
I flex my muscles every evenin' 
D                                   
and put on my big black hat . 
Am 
I'm insecure 
C 
but I know for sure

G 
I'm a lamb 
C G 
yes I am

in a coat of armour . 
I'm a lamb 
yes I am 
and I could never harm her . 
I'm a lamb 
yes I am 
in a coat of armour . 
I'm a lamb 
yes I am 
and I could never harm her . 
 
Last night I almost told her 
what I was thinking of . 
Then I backed away 
I couldn't say 
that I really was in love . 
Instead I hurt her feelings 
in my usual way . 
Then she shut the door 
just a second before 
I had a chance to say . . 
 
I'm a lamb 
yes I am 
ina coat of armour . 
I'm a lamb 
yes I am 
and I could never harm her . 
I'm a lamb 
yes I am 
ina coat of armour . 
I'm a lamb 
yes I am 
and I could never harm her . 
 
If you see my baby 
tell her to take a look . 
I've dropped my guard 
it was hard 
now I'm an open book . 
I'm a lamb 
yes I am 
ina coat of armour . 
I'm a lamb 
yes I am 
and I could never harm her . 
I'm a lamb 
yes I am 
ina coat of armour . 
I'm a lamb 
yes I am 
and I could never harm her
