Playboy To A Man Lyrics by Elvis Costello

Playboy To A Man Lyrics

    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
