ELVIS COSTELLO - Playboy to a Man lyrics

rate me

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
