Manchild Lyrics - Raw Like Sushi - Neneh Cherry

Okay, youre on your own, its late 

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

Turn around, ask yourself 

So, you think youre gonna win this time Manchild? 

Is it the pain of the drinking 

Or the Sunday sinking feeling 

The car never seems to work 

When its late your girlfriends 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 

Manchild, will you ever win? 

Manchild, look at the state youre 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 youre in 

Manchild, he will make you cry 

Manchild, Manchild, Manchild 

From Monday down to Friday 

Youre working on another mans car 

Or is it in the factory? 

It doesnt matter where you are 

Just turn around and ask yourself is this communication 

Accentuate the positive and give some illustration 

See Manchild, youre no one, you turn the microphone on 

Control communication when Im kickin it and so on 

To the point that I need, the air that I breathe 

Into an audience thats 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 louds 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 youre in 

Manchild, he will make you cry 

Manchild, Manchild, Manchild 

Hes the apple of your eye 

Once bitten twice shy, why dont 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 Im stimulating dance floors 

Raise your body temperature now and 

This demands for power in the amp you know lauds my diagnosis 

Cause I believe in miracles and words in heavy doses
