2nd

I'm not mister wonderful,

I'm not mister universe,

I haven't got these big muscles,

I don't know Shakespeare's verse.

But inside of me is a man

Who’ll do (all) the best as he can.

3rd

My left eye is blind,

One ear is already missin'.

I've got not much in my mind.

I don't know much about kissin'.

But inside of me is a man

Who’ll do (all) the best as he can

4th

I'm not as bad as I look,

I may have a hook,

I'm not as bad as I treat you lady,

You don't know how much I need you maybe

But inside of me is a man

Who’ll do (all) the best as he can.

When I was walking through the streets in Rio Gallegos (Argentina), a woman looked at me so shocked, that the first sentence of the song came to my mind:"I'm not as bad as I look." The result was the blues for all men who do not correspond to the ideal of beauty and/or possess the intelligence of an astrophysicist, are physically or mentally disabled or simply do not fit into the usual scheme. They may not be perfect, but they try to do their best to get some love.

There are two version of the song. At the second version Mark Hess is on drums.
