Written by Michael with Paul McCartney, and recorded as a duet for Paul's album, Pipes Of Peace, released in November 1983.
It was planned as a follow-up to Michael and Paul's second collaboration, Say Say Say, until Michael's record company blocked its planned February 1984 release, fearing it would compete with releases from Thriller - the 12" single was scheduled to feature an extended remix.
It was officially released as a single in Peru, and made available as a promo-only single in several other countries.
It is also known by the title, This Is The Man.
The Man - Lyrics
There's a man
Who plays the game of life so well
Ooh, there's such a man
His thoughts you can never tell, ooh
And it's just the way he
Thought it would be
'Cause the day has come
For him to be free
Then he laughs, he kicks
And rolls up his sleeves
I'm alive and I'm here forever
This is the man
And it's just the way he
Thought it would be
'Cause the day has come
For him to be free
Then he laughs, he kicks
And rolls up his sleeves
I'm alive and I'm here forever
This is the man
There's a man
Everybody thought they knew
Ooh, there's such a man
He's not like me and you, ooh
And it's just the way she
Thought it would be
As he says, something has
Happened to me
Then he laughs, he kicks
And rolls up his sleeves
I'm alive and I'm here forever
This is the man
And it's just the way he
Thought it would be
'Cause the day has come
For him to be free
Then he laughs, as he smiles
And rolls up his sleeves
I'm alive and I'm here forever
This is the man
Did you know -
This man can do anything?
Ooh, there's such a man
I wish that we could bring
And it's just the way he
Thought it would be
'Cause the day has come
For him to be free
Then he laughs, he kicks
And rolls up his sleeves
I'm alive and I'm here forever
This Is The Man
And it's just the way he
Thought it would be
'Cause the day has come
For him to be free
Then he laughs, he kicks
And rolls up his sleeves
I'm alive and I'm here forever
This is the man
(This is the man)
Ooh yeah
(Ooh, yeah)
This is the man
(This is the man)
This is the man
