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

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
Then you touched my life
Just by holding my hand
And now I look in the mirror
And I see a brand new man
