"Come See Me" (also known as "I'm Your Man") is a 1966 song by Pretty Things on Fontana Records. It was written by J.J. Jackson, Pierre Tubbs and Sidney Barnes. The song charted in UK and Netherlands.

The B-side was a concert favorite "£.s.d",[2] featuring the chorus lyrics "yes I need L.S.D."[3] The title was a play on abbreviations for pounds, shillings and pence; Phil May would admit later that the song was about LSD.[citation needed] The song was reissued titled as "LSD" on the CD reissue of the album Get the Picture?. The song was covered by UK garage punk band the Cannibals in 1983.
