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
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
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
'Cos I believe in
miracles and words
in steady doses
Enough r-e-s-p-e
and c and t
Respect yourself
express no stress
The mic is easy
Just believe that all
you need is the air
that you breathe
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
'Cos I believe in miracles
Words in heavy doses
