When I grow up to be a man
Will I dig the same things that turn 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

Oh oh oh
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)
