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?
F 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 lovin' from me?
Why so sexy if so dumb?
And how survive the earth so long?
And 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?
F 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 lovin' from me?
I like my boys playin' hard to get
And I like my men all incompetent
And I swear they choose me
I'm not choosin' them
Amen
Hey men (whoo)
Oh, I like my boys playin' hard to get (play hard to get)
And I like my men all incompetent (incompetent)
And I swear (swear) they choose me
I'm not choosin' them (not choosin' them)
Amen (amen)
Hey men (hey men)
Manchild
Why you always come a running to me? (Always come a running to me)
F my life
Won't you let an innocent woman be?
Oh, I like my boys playin' hard to get
And I like my men all incompetent
And I swear they choose me, I'm not choosin' them
Amen, hey men
