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 it seemed to like you
  Turn around and ask yourself
  Turn around ask yourself
  
  Chorus:
  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
  
  Chorus:
  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 and 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 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
  
  Chorus:
  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 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 louds my diagnosis
  'Cause I believe in miracles and words in heavy doses.
