Neneh Cherry - Manchild lyrics
[Neneh Cherry - 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 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'll turn the microphone on
Control communication when I'm kicking
It and so on to the point where 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 saying it
I know what the time is and the
Crowd will 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 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
He's the apple of your eye
Once bitten, twice shy
Why don't you bite me again
Just take it in right and go tell your friend
Are you ready for the words?
I'll 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
Words in heavy doses
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 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
