Manchild

Neneh Cherry

O.K. 
You're on your own 
It's late 

The girlfriend is on another date with the hero in your dream 

Turn around 
Ask yourself 

So 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 and 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 mans 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 illustrations 

See 
Manchild 
You're no one 
I turn the microphone on 

Control communication when I'm kicking it and so on 
To the point where I need air that I breathe 

Into an audience that's waiting and exstatic to recieve 
For the meantime another mean rhyme 
I keep on saying it 

I know what the time is 
And the crown will keep on 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 ! 
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 and 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 !
