Elvis Costello - Playboy to a Man lyrics
Your rating:
You had your own way one too many times and now you're going to find out what it's like Just what it's like, now you're a mess You wanted something you could never possess You went your own way one too many nights You treated her like some small oversight What in the world makes her think that she can Turn you from a playboy into a man CHORUS She's going to make you suffer tonight To turn you from a playboy into a man And when you're worthy of her then she might Turn you from a playboy into a man You thought you were the answer to her prayers the perfect gift that every girl prefers But that's the trouble 'cos every girl still thinks you're hers So there you are with your gold chains jangling Your lucky charms and jewelry dangling But when she saw you she turned and ran To turn you from a playboy into a man CHORUS You couldn't see that the juvenile things you do Would drag you down and now that the joke's on you You're pretty cold you end as you start When your facade isn't falling apart So now you're standing in your underwear Well now you know just how it feels for her You're halfway there you know that she can turn you from a playboy into a man CHORUS
