Manchild Lyrics
There's wisdom is every little thing you say
And I'm wrong and getting wronger every day
I'll be true: you know I'll never break your heart
I hear you. Could you repeat the last part?
Darling. you're talking to a man now
You're talking to a man now, child
Speak slowly. speak slowly
Sweetheart, what do you think I do all day?
I make art when inspiration blows my way
The shouting? I'm getting kind of used to that
But this doubting my intentions?
Well honey that just makes me sad
Darling. you're talking to a manchild
You're talking to a manchild now
Speak slowly. speak slowly
You ask for conversation
Then ask for understanding
And then you say you want a man
Look how hard I'm trying!
I let you watch me crying
I'm just like you
But I'm a man.
I know you. You think I'm just a lazy jerk
But I miss you babe when you're away at work
And genius can strike a man at any time
So I'm waiting.
Let's cut it with the heavy sighs
Darling. you're talking to a manchild
You're talking to a manchild now
Speak slowly. speak slowly
And I'm wrong and getting wronger every day
I'll be true: you know I'll never break your heart
I hear you. Could you repeat the last part?
You're talking to a man now, child
Speak slowly. speak slowly
Sweetheart, what do you think I do all day?
I make art when inspiration blows my way
The shouting? I'm getting kind of used to that
But this doubting my intentions?
Well honey that just makes me sad
You're talking to a manchild now
Speak slowly. speak slowly
Then ask for understanding
And then you say you want a man
Look how hard I'm trying!
I let you watch me crying
I'm just like you
But I'm a man.
But I miss you babe when you're away at work
And genius can strike a man at any time
So I'm waiting.
Let's cut it with the heavy sighs
You're talking to a manchild now
Speak slowly. speak slowly
