Elvis Costello — You’ll Never Be a Man

[Verse 1] You need protection from the physical art of conversation Though the fist is mightier than the lip, it adds the aggravation [Pre-Chorus] I got the password I got persuasion A proposition for invasion of your privacy Give yourself away and find the fake in me [Chorus] You'll never be a man No matter how many foreign bodies you can take You'll never be a man When you're half a woman and you're half awake With a face full of tears and a chemical shake Given half a chance, that I can take Are you so superior, are you in such pain Are you made out of porcelain? When they made you they broke the cast Don't wanna be first, I just want to last Oh oh [Verse 2] You strike a profile on the low side of my imagination My eyes climbed down to find the point of possible saturation [Pre-Chorus] I got the password I got persuasion A proposition for invasion of your privacy Give yourself away and find the fake in me [Chorus] You'll never be a man No matter how many foreign bodies you can take You'll never be a man When you're half a woman and you're half awake Under the table with a chemical shake Given half a chance, that I can take Are you so superior, are you in such pain Are you made out of porcelain? When they made you they broke the cast Don't wanna be first, I just want to last [Outro] Are you so superior, are you in such pain Are you made out of porcelain? When they made you they broke the cast Don't wanna be first, I just want to last Are you so superior, are you in such pain Are you made out of porcelain? When they made you they broke the cast Don't wanna be first, I just want to last Oh oh
