When I Grow Up (To Be A Man) lyrics

When I grow up
to be a man

Will I dig the same things
that turned me on
as a kid?

Will I look back and say
that I wish
I hadn't done
what I did?

Will I joke around
and still dig those sounds

When I grow up
to be a man?

Will I look for
the same things
in a woman
that I dig in a girl?
(fourteen fifteen)

Will I settle down fast
or will I first wanna
travel the world?
(sixteen seventeen)

Well I'm young and free
but how will it be
when I grow up
to be a man?

Ooooooh
Oooooooh
Ooooooooh

Will my kids be proud
or think their old man
is really a square?
(eighteen nineteen)

When they're out
having fun yeah
will I still wanna
have my share?
(twenty twenty-one)

Will I love my wife
for the rest of my life
when I grow up
to be a man?

What will I be
when I grow up
to be a man?

(Twenty-two
twenty-three)
Won't last forever
(Twenty-four twenty-five)

It's kind of sad
(Twenty-six
twenty-seven)
Won't last forever

(Twenty-eight
twenty-nine)
It's kind of sad
(Thirty thirty-one)
