neneh cherry - manchild lyrics
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 ill-strations
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 !
