Manchild (The Old School Mix)

Lyrics

Working, day in, day out They got you working, day in, day out Making your living chained to your payroll You got so tired then lost your soul All your dreams and all your aspirations Helped turned into frustrations You can't admit what you really feel So you be acting weird, your ego makes you nasty The lady that really love went off with another guy The kind of guy you wanna be, the kind of guy you really are If you woulda treat her right, she wouldn't have left you, right? The simple things in life will bring you happiness 'Cause nothing you can buy will get rid of your loneliness Treat the one you love with a lot of respect And maybe then you can love yourself Turn around then ask yourself 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 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'd sell your soul for a tacky song Like the ones 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 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, I 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 in the crowd, we'll keep on playing 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 knock 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 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 right and go tell your friend Are you ready for the words? I'll 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 amps, you know loud's my diagnosis 'Cause I believe in miracles, words in heavy doses
