Manchild lyrics

Oh, boy
You said your phone was broken
Just forgot to charge it
Whole outfit you're wearing
God, I hope it's ironic
Did you just say you're finished?
Didn't know we started
It's all just so familiar
Baby, what do you call it?
Stupid
Or is it
Slow?
Maybe it's
Useless?
But there's a cuter word for it
I know
Manchild
Why you always come a-running to me?
Fuck my life
Won't you let an innocent woman be?
Never heard of self-care
Half your brain just ain't there
Manchild
Why you always come a running
Taking all my loving from me?
Why so sexy
If so dumb?
And how survive the earth so long?
If I'm not there, it won't get done
I choose to blame your mom
Manchild
Why you always come a-running to me?
Fuck my life
Won't you let an innocent woman be?
Never heard of self-care
Half your brain just ain't there
Manchild
Why you always come a-running
Taking all my loving from me?
Oh, I like my boys playing hard to get
And I like my men all incompetent
And I swear they choose me
I'm not choosing them
Amen
Hey, men!
Oh, I like my boys playing hard to get (play hard to get)
And I like my men all incompetent (incompetent)
And I swear they choose me
I'm not choosing them (not choosing them)
Amen (Amen)
Hey, men! (Hey, men!)
Manchild
Why you always come a-running to me? (Always come a-running to me)
Fuck my life
Won't you let an innocent woman be?
Oh, I like my boys playing hard to get
And I like my men all incompetent
And I swear they choose me
I'm not choosing them
Amen
Hey, men! (Hey, man)
(Yee-haw)
