Sia - Manchild lyrics
[Sia - Manchild lyrics]
Is it the pain of the drinkin'
Or the Sunday sinking feelin'?
Uh, 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 sell your soul for a tacky song
Like the one you hear on the radio
Turn around, ask yourself
Turn around, ask yourself
Manchild, will you ever win
Manchild, look at the state you're in, yeah
Manchild, he will make you cry
Manchild, manchild, manchild
From Monday down to Friday
You're workin' 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
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 on playin' 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
Manchild, will you ever win
Manchild, look at the state you're in, yeah
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
Words in heavy doses
Or the Sunday sinking feelin'?
Uh, 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 sell your soul for a tacky song
Like the one you hear on the radio
Turn around, ask yourself
Turn around, ask yourself
Manchild, will you ever win
Manchild, look at the state you're in, yeah
Manchild, he will make you cry
Manchild, manchild, manchild
From Monday down to Friday
