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
