Текст песни A Legend In His Own Mind (Live 1983) - Gil Scott-Heron

Well he loved plenty women from Canada to Mexico
They'd love to see him coming and hated when he had to go
A macho man before macho ever came to town
And the only problem was not enough of him to go around
You know he had, had more romances than L.A'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
See it, see it, see it, see it
Did a little bit to help you out
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 telling he had more romances than doctors got bills
He had, had more romances than Beverly got Hills
And he's a legend in his own mind 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, so
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!
You don't have to listen when he's rattling on, so
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 hey!
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
And 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 books got pages
He's a legend in his own mind
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
God's gift to women on a day God wasn't giving up a thing
