Lyrics
O.K.you're on your ownit's latethe girlfriend is on another date with the hero in your dreamturn aroundask yourselfso think you're gonna win this timemanchild ?
Is it the pain of the drinking or the Sunday sinking feelingthe car never seems to work when it's late.
Your girlfriend's on a date and the hero with herin your dream in your sleep it seemed like youturn around and ask yourselfturn aroundask yourself:
Manchild will you ever winmanchildlook at the state you're in !
Could you go undercover and sell your brand-new lovercould yoube someone else for a nightmaybe someone else will love youyou sell your soul for a tacky songlike the one you hear on the radio.
Turn aroundask yourselfturn around and ask yourself:
Manchild will you ever winmanchildlook at the state you're in !
Manchildhe will make you crymanchildmanchildmanchild.
From Monday down to Friday you're working on another mans caror is it in the factory ? - It doesn't matter where you are.
Just turn around and ask yourself is this communicationaccentuate the positive to give some illustrations
Seemanchildyou're no one
I turn the microphone oncontrol communication when I'm kicking it and so onto the point where I need air that I breatheinto an audience that's waiting and exstatic to recievefor the meantime another mean rhyme
I keep on saying it
I know what the time isand the crown will keep on playing itthrough the speaker boxesloud's my diagnosis'cause I believe in miracles and words in heavy dosesenough R-E-S-P-E and C-T ! Respect yourselfexpress no stressthe mike is easyjust believe that all you need is the air that you breathe !
Turn aroundask yourself -
Manchild will you ever winmanchildlook at the state you're in !
He's the apple of your eye.
Once bittentwice shywhy don't you bite me againjust take it in the right and go and tell your friendare you ready for the words
I turn the microphone ona figure of speech to reach you at the back and so onthe style I'm stimulating dance floorsraise your body temperaturenowand this demands for power in the ampyou know loud's my diagnosis'
Cause I believe in miracles and words in heavy doses !
