Paul McCartney

Transposer:

Playboy To A Man Originally On Elvis Costello’s 1991 album Mighty Like A Rose these chords are specifically for the 1988 Paul McCartney version featured on the 2017 reissue of Flowers In The Dirt CAPO 1 [Intro] [Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 jewelry dangling But when she saw you she turned and ran To 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 Turn you from a playboy into a man [Verse 3] 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] 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 Turn you from a playboy into a man Turn you from a playboy into a man

Cette chanson aborde le parcours d'un homme qui, après avoir longtemps vécu comme un séducteur, doit faire face à la réalité de ses actions et de ses choix. Il réalise que sa façon de traiter les femmes a des conséquences, surtout lorsqu'il se rend compte qu'il risque de perdre quelqu'un de précieux à cause de son comportement. La femme dans sa vie lui fait comprendre qu'il doit subir une sorte d'épreuve pour devenir quelqu'un de véritable et responsable, plutôt que de rester un « playboy » superficiel. L'inspiration de cette chanson pourrait venir des expériences personnelles de son époque, où les relations et les attentes entre hommes et femmes étaient souvent d'une complexité croissante. Cela reflète aussi un changement nécessaire dans la façon de voir l'amour et les engagements, rappelant que le véritable amour demande maturité et sincérité.
