Intro
Verse 1
There's wisdom
In 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?
Chorus
Darling, you're talking to a man now.
You're talking to a man now, child.
Speak slowly, speak slowly
Verse 2
Sweetheart,
What do you think I do all day?
I make Art
When inspiration blows my way.
Oh, the shouting?
I'm getting kind of used to that
But this doubting my intentions?
Well honey, that just makes me sad.
Chorus
(x2)
Darling, you're talking to a manchild
Darling, you're talking to a manchild now
Speak slowly, speak slowly
Bridge
You ask for conversation
You ask for understanding
But then you say you want a man, yeah
Look how hard I'm trying:
I'll let you watch me crying.
I'm just like you, but I'm a man.
Instrumental
Verse 3
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.
Chorus
(x2)
Darling, you're talking to a manchild
Darling, you're talking to a manchild now
Speak slowly, speak slowly
