Playboy to a Man - Elvis Costello

You had your own way one too many times and now

Youre going to find out what its like

Just what its like, now youre 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

Shes going to make you suffer tonight

To turn you from a playboy into a man

And when youre 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 thats the trouble cos every girl still thinks youre 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

You couldnt see that the juvenile things you do Would drag you down and now that the jokes on you

Youre pretty cold you end as you start

When your facade isnt falling apart

So now youre standing in your underwear

Well now you know just how it feels for her

Youre halfway there you know that she can turn you from a Playboy into a man
