Lyrics — “Manchild” by Sabrina Carpenter

Oh, boy
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?

Stupid
Or is it slow?
Maybe it’s useless?
But there’s a cuter word for it, I know

Man-child
Why you always come a-runnin’ 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-runnin’, takin’ all my lovin’ from me?

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

Man-child
Why you always come a-runnin’ 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-runnin’, takin’ all my lovin’ from me?

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)

Man-child
Why you always come a-runnin’ to me? (Always come a-runnin’, to me)
Fuck my life
Won’t you let an innocent woman be? (Amen)
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)

“Manchild” is Sabrina Carpenter’s sharpest pop anthem yet—a blend of articulate sass and polished sound. Fans and critics alike praise its playful approach to calling out immature exes—cleverly dubbing them “manchildren”—without veering into bitterness.

The production by Carpenter alongside Jack Antonoff and Amy Allen layers upbeat synth-pop with hints of country and disco, giving it that perfect summer-road-trip energy. Lines like “Why so sexy if so dumb?” and “Half your brain just ain’t there” are delivered with such breezy wit that the track resonates both as a breakup jab and a modern empowerment anthem.

The surreal desert visuals reinforce the song’s theme—Carpenter encounters manifest “manchildren” indulging in absurd behavior, highlighting her irreverent take on emotional immaturity in relationships. Keep Reading Hitzwow.com
