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 like you
|
Turn around ask yourself
|
Turn around ask yourself
|
|
Chorus:
|
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'd sell your soul for a tacky song
|
Like the ones you hear on the radio
|
Turn around ask yourself
|
Turn around and ask yourself
|
|
Chorus:
|
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 to give some illustration
|
See Manchild, you're no one, I 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 in the crowd we'll keep on playing it
|
Through the speaker boxes loud's my diagnosis
|
'Cause I believe in miracles and words in steady 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)
|
|
Chorus:
|
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 loud's my diagnosis
|
'Cause I believe in miracles and words in heavy doses
|
