Singer Joan Osborne was born on July 8, 1962, in the town of Anchorage, KY, but it wasn't until relocating to New York City in the early '90s (to study at N.Y.U.'s film school) that she began to take a singing career seriously after singing Billie Holiday's classic "God Bless the Child" at a local bar's "open mic night." In addition to Holiday, Osborne looked to such legendary vocalists as Etta James and Ray Charles as role models, as the up-and-coming singer decided not to cater to major record companies and formed her own label, Womanly Hips, which resulted in such releases as 1992's in-concert Soul Show, among others. But eventually, Osborne decided to sign on with a major label, Mercury, which in turn issued the singer's next release, Relish, in March of 1995. The album proved to have a long life, as almost a year after its initial release the track "One of Us" became a massive MTV and radio smash, camping out at the number one spot on the U.S. singles chart for two weeks and Relish eventually racked up sales of three million copies.

Right Hand Man Lyrics

Joan Osborne

Let me use your toothbrush
Have you got a clean shirt?
My panties in a wad
At the bottom of my purse
I walk into the street
The airs so cool
Im wired and Im tired
And Im grinnin like a fool
Ive been on the floor lookin for a chair
Ive been on a chair lookin for a couch
And Ive been on a couch lookin for a bed...
Lookin for a bed
Lookin for my, my...
My right hand, my right hand man (repeat 4x)
Say... my right hand, my right hand man
My right hand, my right hand man
My right hand, my right hand man
If he cant fix it, I dont know who can
The sinsemilla? salesman
And the cops on the block
They know what I been doin
They see the way I walk
I wonder what they see now
I wonder what they do
To feel somebody want them
The way Im wanting you
Ive been on the floor lookin for a chair
Ive been on a chair lookin for a couch
And Ive been on a couch lookin for a bed...
Lookin for a bed
Lookin for... to really be...
My right hand, my right hand man (repeat 4x)
Say... my right hand, my right hand man
My right hand, my right hand man
My right hand, my right hand man
Use me up if you think you can
Ive been on the floor lookin for a chair
Ive been on a chair lookin for a couch
And Ive been on a couch lookin for a bed...
Lookin for a bed
Lookin for my...
My right hand, my right hand man (repeat 4x)
Say... my right hand, my right hand man
My right hand, my right hand man
My right hand, my right hand man
Say... my right hand, my right hand man (repeat 7x)
If he cant fix it, gonna find a boy who can
