An old one I came across recently and decided to re-jig and tweak to make it more commercially amenable. A Pop type lyric where the chorus tells what the guy can't do, the pre-chorus tells what he can and the chorus asks the girl what she wants from him, the bridge is an impassioned plea to simply love him for who/what he is

V1
Baby I can’t walk on water,
Or turn it into wine,
I can’t control the weather,
Or turn back time
Pre-chorus
But I can love you girl,
Like never before,
Make you my world,
Yeah of that I’m sure,
Of that I’m sure
Chorus
So tell me what you want,
Tell me what you want,
I’ll give it best I can,
Oh baby if I can
What you want from me,
What you want from me,
‘Cos baby I’m only a man,
I’m only a man
V2
Baby I don’t own big wheels,
Or have the Midas touch,
Baby I’m no big deal,
I really don’t impress that much
Pre-chorus
But you need to know,
I’m crazy about you,
And I can love you so,
Much baby like you never knew,
Like you never knew
Chorus
So tell me what you want,
Tell me what you want,
I’ll give it best I can,
Oh baby if I can
What you want from me,
What you want from me,
‘Cos baby I’m only a man,
I’m only a man
Bridge
I’ve got flaws and I’m not perfect,
I’m hard work baby I’m worth it,
Swear you won’t get better love
Baby it’s not a lot but maybe it’s enough,
Chorus
So tell me what you want,
Tell me what you want,
I’ll give it best I can,
Oh baby if I can
What you want from me,
What you want from me,
‘Cos baby I’m only a man,
I’m only a man
Outro
Not a God, not a demon,
Not a beast I’m only a man
