Manchild

Lyrics

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,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
