Manchild Lyrics by Kelsey Lu

The Versions

2022

[Intro]
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
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
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Turn around and ask yourself
Turn around and ask yourself
[Chorus]
Manchild, will you ever win?
Manchild, look at the state you're in
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Turn around and ask yourself
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 and 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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
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
