You had your own way one too many times<br>
And now you're going to find out what it's like
And now you're going to find out what it's like<br>
 
Just what it's like, now you're a mess<br>
Just what it's like, now you're a mess
You wanted something you could never possess<br>
 
<br>
You wanted something you could never possess
You went your own way one too many nights<br>
 
You treated her like some small oversight<br>
 
What in the world makes her think that she can<br>
 
Turn you from a playboy into a man<br>
You went your own way one too many nights
<br>
 
{{Chorus}}:<br>
You treated her like some small oversight
She's going to make you suffer tonight<br>
 
To turn you from a playboy into a man<br>
What in the world makes her think that she can
And when you're worthy of her then she might<br>
 
Turn you from a playboy into a man<br>
Turn you from a playboy into a man
<br>
 
You thought you were the answer to her prayers<br>
 
The perfect gift that every girl prefers<br>
 
But that's the trouble 'cos every girl still thinks you're hers<br>
''Chorus:''
So there you are with your gold chains jangling<br>
 
Your lucky charms and your jewelry dangling<br>
She's going to make you suffer tonight
But when she saw you she turned and ran<br>
 
To turn you from a playboy into a man<br>
To turn you from a playboy into a man
<br>
 
{{Chorus}}<br>
And when you're worthy of her then she might
<br>
 
You couldn't see that the juvenile things you do<br>
Turn you from a playboy into a man
Would drag you down and now that the joke's on you<br>
 
You're pretty cold, you end as you start<br>
 
When your facade isn't falling apart<br>
 
<br>
You thought you were the answer to her prayers
So now you're standing in your underwear<br>
 
Well now you know just how it feels for her<br>
The perfect gift that every girl prefers
You're halfway there you know that she can<br>
 
Turn you from a playboy into a man<br>
But that's the trouble 'cos every girl still thinks you're hers
<br>
 
{{Chorus}}<br>
So there you are with your gold chains jangling
 
Your lucky charms and your jewelry dangling
 
But when she saw you she turned and ran
 
To turn you from a playboy into a man
 
 
 
''(Repeat 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

lyrics for
Playboy To A Man

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 your 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)
