The original lyric doesn't make sense - it emphasizes the wrong thing (a one-man show - we already know she's talking about one guy from the title). And really, a "lovin' one-man show" suggests he's lovin' himself, if you read it literally. The more important thing is the "lovin'" part - he's putting on a lovin' show and is all she needs.
I hadn't heard that song in at least 30 years until the other day and now this one lyric is driving me crazy.
Carry on.

It flows better the incorrect way.
