Manchild Sabrina Carpenter lyrics Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh boy
[Verse 1]
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?
[Pre-Chorus]
Stupid
Or is it slow?
Maybe it's useless?
But there's a cuter word for it, I know
[Chorus]
Man-child
Why you always come a-running to me?
Fuck my life
Won't you let an innocent woman be?
Never heard of self-care
Half your brain just ain't there
Man-child
Why you always come a-running, taking all my loving from me?
[Verse 2]
Why so sexy if so dumb?
And how survive the Earth so long?
If I'm not there, it won't get done
I choose to blame your mom
[Chorus]
Man-child
Why you always come a-running to me?
Fuck my life
Won't you let an innocent woman be?
Never heard of self-care
Half your brain just ain't there
Man-child
Why you always come a-running, taking all my loving from me?
[Bridge]
Oh, I like my boys playing hard to get
And I like my men all incompetent
And I swear they choose me, I'm not choosing them
Amen, hey, men
Oh, I like my boys playing hard to get (Play hard to get)
And I like my men all incompetent (Incompetent)
And I swear they choose me, I'm not choosing them (Not choosing them)
Amen (Amen), hey, men (Hey, men)
[Chorus]
Man-child
Why you always come a-running to me? (Always come a-running to me)
Fuck my life
Won't you let an innocent woman be? (Amen)
[Outro]
Oh, I like my boys playing hard to get (Play hard to get)
And I like my men all incompetent (Incompetent)
And I swear they choose me, I'm not choosing them (Not choosing them)
Amen (Amen), hey, men (Hey, men, yee-haw)
Manchild Sabrina Carpenter lyrics - English Translation
[Intro]
Oh chico
[Verso 1]
Dijiste que tu teléfono estaba roto, solo se te olvidó cargarlo
Todo el atuendo que llevas, Dios, espero que sea irónico
¿Acabas de decir que terminaste? No sabía que habíamos empezado
Todo es tan familiar, cariño, ¿cómo lo llamas?
[Pre-Coro]
Estúpido
¿O será lento?
Quizás inútil
Pero hay una palabra más linda para eso, lo sé
[Coro]
Niño grande
¿Por qué siempre vienes corriendo a mí?
Maldita vida
¿No dejarás en paz a una mujer inocente?
Nunca oíste del autocuidado
La mitad de tu cerebro no está ahí
Niño grande
¿Por qué siempre vienes, robándome todo mi amor?
[Verso 2]
¿Por qué tan sexy si tan tonto?
¿Y cómo sobreviviste en la Tierra tanto tiempo?
Si no estoy yo, no se hace nada
Elijo culpar a tu mamá
[Puente]
Oh, me gustan los chicos que se hacen los difíciles
Y me gustan los hombres incompetentes
Y juro que ellos me eligen, yo no los elijo a ellos
Amén, hey, hombres
[Outro]
Oh, me gustan los chicos que se hacen los difíciles
Y me gustan los hombres incompetentes
Y juro que ellos me eligen, yo no los elijo a ellos
Amén, hey, hombres (yee-haw)
Meaning of Manchild Sabrina Carpenter lyrics
Sabrina Carpenter's 'Manchild' is a biting commentary on modern dating frustrations, wrapped in deceptively catchy pop melodies. The song explores the psychological toll of dealing with emotionally immature partners through sharp sarcasm and feminist undertones. Carpenter masterfully uses the 'manchild' metaphor to depict partners who demand emotional labor while offering little in return, a dynamic many young women recognize in today's dating culture. The lyrics cleverly balance humor and exasperation, particularly in lines like 'Why so sexy if so dumb?' which captures the confusing attraction to problematic partners. The bridge's ironic repetition of 'I like my men all incompetent' serves as both a cultural critique and personal confession about dating patterns. Musically, the upbeat production contrasts with the cynical lyrics, creating an anthem for those tired of carrying relationships. The song resonates because it articulates a specific generational experience - the clash between feminist ideals and real-world dating disappointments. Carpenter's vocal delivery, alternating between playful and exhausted, mirrors the emotional rollercoaster of dealing with such partners. The 'blame your mom' line suggests deeper exploration of how emotional immaturity is socially conditioned. Ultimately, 'Manchild' serves as both catharsis and cautionary tale, validating listeners' frustrations while encouraging higher standards in relationships.
