Manchild |
| OK, you’re on your own, it’s late |
| Your girlfriend is on another date with the hero in your dream |
| Turn around, ask yourself. |
| So, you think you’re gonna win this time Manchild? |
| Is it the pain of the drinking |
| Or the Sunday sinking feeling |
| The car never seems to work |
| When it’s late your girlfriend’s on a date |
| And the hero with her in your dream |
| In your sleep it seemed to like you |
| Turn around and ask yourself |
| Turn around ask yourself |
| Manchild, will you ever win |
| Manchild, look at the state you’re in |
| Could you go undercover |
| And sell your brand new lover (could you) |
| Be someone else for a night |
| Maybe someone else will love you |
| You sell your soul for a tacky song |
| Like the one you hear on the radio |
| Turn around ask yourself |
| Turn around and ask yourself |
| Manchild, will you ever win |
| Manchild, look at the state you’re in |
| Manchild, he will make you cry |
| Manchild, Manchild, Manchild |
| From Monday down to Friday |
| You’re working on another man’s car |
| Or is it in the factory? |
| It doesn’t matter where you are |
| Just turn around and ask yourself is this communication |
| Accentuate the positive and give some illustration |
| See Manchild, you’re no one, you turn the microphone on |
| Control communication when I’m kickin' it and so on |
| To the point that I need, the air that I breathe |
| Into an audience that’s waiting and ecstatic to receive |
| For the meantime another mean rhyme, I keep on sayin' it |
| I know what the time is the crowd will keep playing it |
| Through the speaker boxes loud’s my diagnosis |
| 'Cause I believe in miracles and words in heavy doses |
| Enough R-E-S-P-E and C-T |
| Respect yourself express no stress the mike is easy |
| Just believe that all you need is the air that you breathe |
| Turn around ask yourself |
| Manchild, will you ever win |
| Manchild, look at the state you’re in |
| Manchild, he will make you cry |
| Manchild, Manchild, Manchild |
| He’s the apple of your eye |
| Once bitten twice shy, why don’t you bite me again |
| Just take it in the right and go tell your friend |
| Are you ready for the words I turn the microphone on |
| A figure of speech to reach you at the back and so on |
| The style I’m stimulating dance floors |
| Raise your body temperature now and |
| This demands for power in the amp you know louds my diagnosis |
| 'Cause I believe in miracles and words in heavy doses |
